I assumed "dont" would be the correct answer since the relative pronoun is for "se servir de" which is a verbal phrase.
I thought "de laquelle" was only used for prepositional phrases ( près de, à côté de, autour de, etc)
However, both answers are marked correct. Can someone please clarify this for me, please?
I found this on the Lawless French website. Which is correct?
In this example: “une blonde comme le soleil fille” I said it was correct. But I think it means, in English, “a blonde like the sun girl”. If so would the correct answer have been “Une blonde comme la fille soleil” ? Thanks.
je me repose là pendant quelques minutes.
je m'y repose pendant quelques minutes.
je m'y relaxe durant quelques minutes.
May I know what the me y make the meaning different here from me only?
Hi,
I was wondering when using être or avoir in the sentence below does it determine like it does when you use it in the idiomatic expressions?
L'étudiant n'est pas en classe. Il Sera encore endormi.
The student is not in class. He is probably still asleep
Cause I don't see the aura used here so I was wondering if it's similar when we learn about the idiomatic expressions.
Thank you

Based on the lesson ¨Using depuis (since/for) with Le Present and NOT let Passé Composé (prepositions of time)" In a related kwiz I translated the phrase: The Woman in Black has haunted this house for centuries, into : La Dame en Noir hante cette maison depuis des siècles which was incorrect although I used the present tense as stated in the lesson.
The correct form should have been: La Dame en Noir a hanté cette maison depuis des siècles which is using le Passé Composé.
Can someone explain this to me please?
This lesson refers to the Infinitif Passé. I have been doing the lessons in order since level A0 and I don't think I have seen Infinitif Passé before. I figured it out, and finally noticed the link to a lesson about it at the bottom of the page, but perhaps this lesson could explain briefly what it is, rather than using the name without previous explanation.
The link to the right of play for the completed exercise says ‘all related grammar and vocab.’ When I follow it, I do see all the grammar topics covered. I do not see a list of vocabulary for the exercise though. No problem to look up unfamiliar words, but it might be nice to just make a list since it’s on the link. I didn’t know the work echelle in this exercise. Thank you!
