Why is there a y there?

Because it is jouer a?

I have checked with 3 different dictionaries i.e. Le Robert de Poche, Harrap’s Shorter French and English dictionary and Wordreference online. Each one defines ski boot as “après-ski” as opposed to “botte de neige” . 

Which is the correct response?

Hello, I've just done the question

How would you say "By the time he came, I had fixed the machine." ?

 for which the correct answer was...

For me, this is a past event and ‘came’ is the past tense but in French you actually need to say « by the time he comes, I had fixed the machine » in English (speaking, at least)?

Thanks :-)

hi.can I use " dans" to  say" J' habite  dans Layon"

Instead  of "à"

how to identify a word is masculine or feminine...

In lesson 2 of 10 in A1, on the quiz I was marked as incorrect when I included "He was not..."  as a translation for "On..."  They said that "we" and "you" were acceptable translations, but "he" was not.  I do not understand why not.    I watched the video & read the lesson, but it did not answer my question.

Hello, the video has been blocked due to copyright reasons.

Is the above question an acceptable translation of "What do you think?" 

The correct answer is "j'ai tenu bon" - could you also say, "j'ai tenu le coup"?
