With respect, I think that this lesson fails to make a clear distinction between the many different ways of using "to miss" and "missing" in English and "manquer" and "rater" in French. I suggest that the lesson be broken down and recreated as several lessons, each with a clear learning objective.
For the phrase « he only ate sweets » the was given as « il n’a que mangé… » . Why isn’t it « il n’a mangé que… »?
To the question 'You had shaved completely that morning' I was marked wrong for 'Tu t'étais rasée ....' which is surely correct rather than your answer 'Tu t'étais rasé ....' Please explain.
Why not des persils like des tomates?
For example: Je plante des tomates et des persils ?
Hi, why does “the que before the penser” (b) & (c) become “a quoi after the penser” (a)?
(a) “Et vous, vous pensez QUOI des selfies ?”

(c) “Et vous, QU'est-ce que vous pensez des selfies ?”
'By the time my father succeeded' is translated as 'le temps que mon père réussisse'.
Could it also be 'le temps que mon père ait réussi'?
If so, are there stylistic considerations why you should chose one rather than the other?
In the last sentence, I used "Elle est" but was corrected to "C'est" and referred to the lesson for using c'est vs. elle/il est when saying "it is." I was confused by this, however, because I wasn't trying to say "it is" -- I was trying to say "she is," referring to Marc's daughter. What is the reason for the last sentence using "C'est"?
Did you recently overhaul the search functions? I think so, but maybe have just not been paying attention. Much better now anyway, especially for tracking down previous discussion on QandA forum.
Hi everyone, I have a question. I am struggling with the les and the leur.
Why is it "les" if it is "Je les ai aidés à déménager", but "Les enfants vont au bord de le mer; je leur ai acheté des vêtements d'été."
Thank you in advance.
