This lesson needs to be redone into more than one lesson because it's too complicated, confusing and frustrating.  As soon as I finish studying it, I forget what refers to what.  

Kwiziq smartly points out that I "should" have used an upper case Ç (pasted in here) although there is no way to actually type that character in the exercise.  When I try holding the C key, it shows an upper case cedilla c, but does not allow me to enter it.  

Duh........

I find this lesson utterly indecipherable, poorly explained and VERY frustrating. With material like this, I begin to wonder why I spent the money or the time.  

 Sometimes it's envie de, sometimes not.  the explanations supplied DO NOT SUFFICIENTLY ANSWER THE REASONING AS TO WHICH ANSWERS ARE APPROPRIATE.  I'll just eventually memorize the "correct" answers and move on.  Stupid way to learn grammar.  

The subject of the lesson says subjunctif présent always follows vouloir que. If the sentence is in the past "elle a voulu que"' what happens to the subjunctive? Is it really in the present "elle a voulu que le chien parte" or should the subjunctive past be used? "'elle a voulu que le chien soit parti."'

There is nothing in this lesson that shows or tests conjugation of 'faire exprès de' other than in passé composé, with the subtle exception of the unexplained example where il vaut ... faire appears. The sentence "Elle fait exprès d'être en retard" would be an opportunity to introduce a conjugation of faire in a form other than 'fait', and that would be helpful. Why not change it to "Elles etc" or "Nous etc"?  It would be useful to have information on present and future tense conjugations - or at least a note to indicate that the reason every example is fait exprès de is that every example (bar one) is in passé composé. 

Hi all, may I know what the difference is between même and comme? Thank you.

Thanks for clarifying the use of de qui v. dont. Can I use de qui to refer back to an animal? For example: "Le chat de qui je parle est très mignon." Or is "qui" really just for people?

I understand that the general rule of thumb is to use "c'est" when followed by a noun (even when qualified by an adjective) and "il / elle est" when followed by an adjective - so why is it "C'est nuageux" rather than Il est nuageux."  Is it to do with 'the weather' being inanimate and non specific? Or something else?

I see no information on why my answer joue du golf is wrong.  Why?
