Allait = Is going?

I don't understand the choice of "allait" vs "va" in the sentence "Isabelle allait aussi tenter sa chance à Paris", as translating "is going" feels like "va."

"Literally" but not literally

The hint says "Literally: to take a nap is my favourite...", but it is *faire* la sieste, not prendre.

Going to the next lesson or a specific number lesson

I am not doing the lessons in order but just looking them up for more for information in addition to what I am studying in class.

So say I am reading lesson 424 on passé composé, I have finished the 2 question quiz and then I want to go the next lesson....number 425...how do I get there?

If I type "Lesson 425" in the search box, it does not give me the option for that lesson.

Thank you in advance for your answer.

Use of 'auxquelles'

salut forum et les experts

Je ne comprends pas l'utilisation de 'auxquelles' dans la phrase suivante 'Cette terre fertile produit de nombreuses gourmandises: olives, lavande, vignes, truffes, abricots, auxquelles il est très difficile de résister'

Pour quoi je ne pourrais pas également dire 'Cette terre fertile produit de nombreuses gourmandises: olives, lavande, vignes, truffes, abricots, qui sont très difficile de résister' ?
