I used “en retard pour le travail”. I knew it was wrong but did not think of an alternative. Is there a Lawless lesson that can help me with this construction?

Thank you!

English "provinces"

England doesn't have provinces! The way England is subdivided is frankly horrendously complex, however, it suffices to say that the examples given are of counties.

The word province, when it doesn't just cause confusion, is more likely to mean the "regions" because some of the original post-WW2 proposals for an official top level subdivision of England used this term.

Toujours or encore ?

Toujours is being red-lined at the end of this lesson. However as the action "hesitation' or 'being unsure' is ongoing, these 3 links from Laura Lawless suggest to me that toujours is the better word for 'still' in this context. At the very least, they indicate that toujours is a correct option.

Je suis entré dans le salon sans que tu ne me voies.

I was under the understanding that we don't use the ne explétif with "sans que" unless the rest of the sentence is in the negative. Is the above sentence in this lesson a mistake or did I misunderstand the lesson on sans que?

Français et Angleterre

Votre affirmation selon laquelle «le français se parlait presque exclusivement en Angleterre jusqu'à la fin du XIIIe siècle est ncorrect et trompeur. On pourrait dire que c'était la langue presque exclusive de la cour et de la classe dirigeante des propriétaires terriens puissants. Mais la majorité de la population a continué à parler anglais, qui a subi des changements dramatiques pendant cette période, soit dit en passant. En outre, la langue parlée par la cour était strictement le français normand, puis le français anglo-normand en tant que version insulaire distincte: tous les envahisseurs de 1066 n'étaient pas normands, rappelez-vous. De plus, le français est resté une langue de cour jusqu'à la fin du 14e siècle. Après cela, les connexions avec la Normandie ont diminué et avec elle la nécessité du français pour le roi et sa cour.

When something happens so that / in order that someone else does something

I've keyed the below sentence into google.

As the subject is the 'same person' in both parts of the sentence, is the translation wrong?

According to the lesson the subjunctive occurs when something happens so that someone else does something.
