In the sentence ‘Notre nouvelle édition s’est enrichie des nombreux artistes...’ I wonder if ‘des’ should be changed to ‘de’ as per the lesson. If not, could you please explain why.

Thanks.

I have some questions with the clarification for the use of PENDANT.

As I have read in other grammar lessons, PENDANT is used to express the 'full duration' of a completed action IN THE PAST ... or the 'set duration' of an action to be done in the future. Pendant cannot be used for the present!

If this is the case then 

a) would it help in clarification if some wording to that effect be added to the lesson for PENDANT,          else based on the lesson someone could ask me "why cant I go into the kindergarten room? and I could answer  " Les enfants dorment pendant une  heure" ... which would be wrong... 

b)the example sentence "Il court pendant une heure tous les matins/He runs for one hour every morning  appears to be unnecessarily skirting that rule .. or at least adding a bit of doubt??.

Of course if there is no such restrictions please let me know. 

Thank you!

Two things: I looked up the suggested words and phrases on Google Translate, and a bunch of them ended up being marked wrong. Why not just give us a vocab list at the start?

Also, the phrase "He is very good" is followed by the hint ("good at basketball "). I'm not sure why a hint was given, since the answer was "Il est très bon". Because of the hint I thought the answer must need something more, when it didn't. Maybe eliminate that hint from the exercise? It doesn't serve a purpose.

Is not prendre in the imperative in "Tiens, prends leur numéro de téléphone" in which case shouldn't the 's' be dropped in prends ?
