When the owner is a person, you can alternatively use "de qui" as well as dont:

Les enfants, de qui je connais la maman, sont bien élevés.

The children, whose mum I know, are well behaved.

Can I say that
Les enfants, de qui les pères sont riches, sont bien élevés.

The children, whose fathers are rich, are well behaved

I wish your helps...
Merci beaucoup

Je suis desolee. Les vaches ont une vie terrible.

Do you recommend listening and repeating a listening exercises until I get it right, or just about right, or take one exercise and then move on to the next? Thanks!

Dear Aurelie and team  

Could I use the expression "tenir au courant" instead of "prevenir" for the following phrase

"Tu me teniras au courant s'ils arrivent en retard, d'accord"

Thank you  Una

the lesson says: To express after + -ing / after having + past participle in French, you use the same following structure:

ATTENTION:
Use the same auxiliary as in compound tenses like Le Passé Composé. 

But all the examples are using avoir. Could you expand a little about using être in this situation? Thanks!

What is the necessity and meaning of "dessus" after tomber?  Why not just "bonnes choses vous tombent"?  Good things fall on you
