For "We are leaving at 4", I chose, "Nous quittons à quatre heures" instead of "Nous partons à quatre heures", because the lesson says partir must be followed by de or pour when it is not used on its own. Why is "Nous partons à quatre heures" correct? And why is "Nous quittons à quatre heures" wrong?

Lui/leur

Hi,

I am a bit confused of what you would change this to. Would you change à sa tanté to lui or leur?

Thanks

s'en occuperIl s'en occupe tout de suite. Why is "He takes care of them right away." correct but "He takes care of him right away" is wrong. What in that sentence says "them" but not "him"?"

suggestion for creating/improving lessons

Based on the user questions here as well as on some other lessons, it seems Kwiziq would be well served to have some learners review the lessons to see if they are clear enough. I know I've seen quite a few pages that were unclear due to insufficient explanation or examples. (I just finished 4 semesters of French, so I'm not really learning but trying not to let it slip away. Still, I have noticed lessons that aren't as clear and/or complete as they could be.)

Il fait trop chaud pour une sauce bolognaise !...avec un peu d'oignon et d'ail. - Il fait trop chaud pour une sauce bolognaise !

In this sentence, the word 'chaud' is referring the warm temperature outside, or does it mean spicy? as the words onion and garlic were mentioned preceding this.

Does the word 'chaud' means spicy as well as high in temperature just like in english?

Use of phrase: "en fin de matinee"

I am just wondering about the phrase, "en fin de matinee." Would you translate this to mean: "late morning"; and is "en fin de" commonly used in similar expressions? ie. "en fin d'apres-midi"; "en fin de soiree", etc. I also notice that there the definite article is left out.

Merci par avance.

On vs Tu

Hello!

Throughout the writing activity where I described the boys neighborhood, I continued to use "Tu" instead of "On" when it asked me to type "When you want to go out, you have a lot of choices!"

The correct answer according to the computer was "Quand on veut sortir, on a beaucoup de choix !"

Can someone explain why On is used instead of Tu?

Thanks!
