I took the test and i understand that Switzerland is feminine but why is there a masculine pronoun ils at the beginning? ils detesent la suisse. Shouldn't it be elles not ils?

thanks

vous êtes assis??Hi - the example "Le canapé dans lequel / où vous êtes assis m'a coûté une fortune", the translation has me a bit confused (where you're sitting = vous êtes assis). My mind wants to make "where you're sitting" the present tense - ie: vous (vous) asseyez. However if the passé composé is correct, my brain wants to either write vous vous êtes assis, or vous avez assis?? Thanks in advance..

What is the difference between 'je fais de la photo', 'je fais des photos', 'je fais les photos?

when we want to describe someone's profession using 'faire', must we use partitive article?

Thanks

Why is it "ma salle de bainS". Why the "s"? J'aime ma salle de bains parce qu'elle est très propre. Il y a une baignoire blanche et une grande douche, donc j'ai le choix. Sur le sol, les carreaux sont bleus comme l'océan. Mon lavabo est fait de pierre et le robinet est très brillant. Je passe beaucoup de temps dans ma pièce préférée !

Ways of saying it was cold last night

What is the difference between

Il fait froid hier soir And

Il faisait froid hier soir

The translation is identical and the lesson doesn’t clarify it.
