Why are only "a qui" and "a laquelle" accepted as answers, while "dont" isn't?
1. Can I use "empirer" instead of exacerber or aggraver in the sentence "ce qui ne faisant qu'exacerber les problèmes ..."?
2. Why do we use faire ... instead of the word itself?
...shouldn’t the verb be se brosser ?
I would like to see my own translation again alongside the correct one.
1. On dit pas "une longue barbe frisee" ici, mais "une barbe longue et frisee". 'long/longue" devant le nom = "Ouah!" comme "Quelle longue journee!".
Peut-etre s'il avait une barbe qui lui pendait jusqu' a` la poitrine, on pourrait dire: "Ouah! Quelle longue barbe!, mais ce monsieur a une barbe normale.
En plus, son pull n'est pas du tout "violet".
2. On ne leur voit pas les yeux.
3. En gros, il faut redessiner les portraits

I think Charmond's (and now my) question arises because of ambiguity about the section headed (Un) peu de, where it is stated that «un peu de 'used with uncountable quantities'» etc. The impression given/gained is that this is in contrast to quelque(s) which is noted to be for countable quantities, and applies to the full section. However, on reflection, I think it means only that 'un peu de' is for uncountables, but that 'peu de' is/can be used for countables with a slight difference in meaning/translation when used instead of quelques. Please clarify - and maybe clarify in the lesson too! Thanks
et j'espère vraiment qu'il SOIT heureux !
Thank you
We just say Hawaï and not le Hawaï even though it's a state/region and not a city?
