Bonjour - I was going to use 'regarder', but changed it to 'observer' just to see if it would work and it was not accepted. Both Collins and LaRousse give 'to watch, or to observe' as translations for 'observer'. Is there any reason why 'observer' wouldn't work in this case?

Merci beaucoup.

"Dont" -- comment utiliser et quand

Salut. "Dont" c'est un pronom relatif qui me confond toujours -- quelquefois je me sens que je le comprends un peu mieux.

"Un traitement antirétroviral prophylactique est proposé à celles dont la test est positif"

Pourquoi dont? avec quoi s'accord il? peut-on dire ".... a celles pour qui la test est positif"?

De + infinitive

Is there an lesson on the construction "de + infinitive"? Having finished the course I can't see one, and of course it is used frequently: e.g. La bonne résolution d'Isabelle est de découvrir d'autres cultures.

English translation

This sentence in the english translation doesn't sound right to me. The inclusion of the words "and that" aren't needed.

Though you might have never heard her name before, Olympe de Gouges played an essential part in the women's right struggle, and that long before the term "feminist" made an appearance.

Also, On can be used to refer to ''you'' as in lots of people but I thought that was the translation/ role of Vous?
