I just had a question about the usage of de vs du in "l'école du chocolat".

Why can't we say "l'école de chocolat" ? And why are we using "du"?

Your example: Elle aime sa nouvelle veste.

I understood from A1 lesson that with clothes (f) we use "la". I noted:

Tu as les mains dans les poches = You have your hands in your pockets

Hello, 

Any tricks to guess the gender? Like for example, I heard somewhere that about 75% of the time nouns ending with 'e' will be of feminine gender. 

Merci d'advance! :)

Hi,

I thought esperer did not take the subjonctif unlike souhaiter.  

Thanks

What is the difference in meaning and usage between these two phrases?

Qu’est-ce que c’est un stylo?

Qu’est-ce que c’est q’un stylo?

It seems a bit harsh to be marked wrong for merely omitting an apostrophe. I wrote quelle fasse and not qu'elle fasse which I thought was almost correct.

The questions asks for possible translations of "Liliane's son, whom I told you about, lives in Angers."?The following option is marked incorrect, but I don't understand why. 

Le fils de Liliane, qui je t'ai parlé de, habite à Angers.

I get that I need to distinguish between Liliane and her son, so the best option is to use "duquel", but if "dont" and "à qui" are accepted, why is "qui" not accepted?
