J'habite en South Africa. 

J'habite au South Africa.

Which one is correct? 

Salut

If pas encore cannot be used at the end of a sentence then why can I say: On ne travaille pas encore. As in the example given in the lesson?

Merci en avance

I have finished with all the recommended lessons for A0: Entry Level.

How do I start with the next level A1: Beginner?

Merci

Bonjour. Thanks for your work and learning resources. I have a question.

In the attention note, shouldn't "I left [from] Paris"  be "Je suis parti de paris" without the "e" at the end of "parti" ? 

There is a sentence in the text:
" les odeurs de cannelle et d'épices évoquent des souvenirs d'enfance"

I seem to get this wrong quite often - why is there no article after de in all of these cases (de cannelle, d'epices and d'enfance).

Thank you!

Why are the adjectives feminine when transport is masculine?

I don't understand the difference between these two english responses.  I chose the scones in the quiz and it was market wrong.  Thank you for any clarification.

"Mathilde a rentré la voiture avant qu'il ne pleuve." means: 

·       Mathilde put the car back (in the garage) before it rained.

·       Mathilde returned the car before it rained.

If 'Je suis monté en voiture' means 'I got into the car', how does one say (if visiting someone on a hill and they asks how you got there) 'I came up by car ?
Surely that is also 'Je suis monté en voiture'.....

The KWIS has a question:

Nous ________ les cheveux. We brushed our hair

(HINT: Conjugate "se brosser" (to brush) in the compound past (Passé Composé))

Answer given: nous sommes brossé

But the text states:

Reflexive verbs always use être as the auxiliary verb in Le Passé Composé.

Note also that the verb must agree with the gender and number of the person.

i.e. taking an extra -e for women, and an extra -s for more than one person,

{In text: Conjugate reflexive verbs (+être) in the compound past in French (Le Passé Composé)}

Then should the answer not be:

nous sommes brossés ?

"Je n'ai pas de X." 

Should "X" be in the singular form or in the plural? Does it depend on which form it was in in the question? 

eg. "Avez-vous une voiture ?" -> "Je n'ai pas de voiture." but "Avez-vous des chaussures ?" -> "Je n'ai pas de chaussures." ?
