"Party favours" in not a term in use in Australia as far as I can ascertain, and I had never heard of them (with either of the meanings I discovered).
Doesn't help much when the urban dictionary definition is essentially 'hard(er) drugs'!
Luckily, overseas sites advertising other 'party favours' gave a different insight, as did wordreference.

Bonjour,
Je voudrais noter un petit erreur dans la leçon: il y a sept continents, pas six. Il y a deux "amériques," l'Amérique du Nord et l'Amérique du Sud. Dans votre liste de "toutes les continents" vous avez seulement "Amerique."
Bonne journée!
P.S. Je suis dans le Niveau A1, alors je suis désolée pour mes erreurs. Les excusez, s'il vous plaît.
Please what's the meaning of 'y' and how can it be used?
The final transcript and the bottom 'correct answer line' in the exercise still have '...qui émanaient de ce coin de m'ont accompagnéeS .....' instead of just "....m'ont accompagnée" - agreement with the speaker's gender. The upper line 'best answer' indicated in the exercise is correct however. Cécile has answered a query on this previously. (I think I remember correctly what was presented in the exercise, but can't go back to recheck)
I must admit I often ignore 'agreement' like this when a text is in first person singular, and instead just use the 'agreement' that applies to me.
I am a little confused. The lesson says that in the negative, de l' becomes d' (in front of a vowel or silent h). However, the example given: C'est de l'huile d'olive ? -Non, ce n'est pas de l'huile d'olive.
Shouldn't it then be: Ce n'est pas d'huile d'olive.
In a related doubt, are these sentences correct:
Tu as de l'argent? Non, Je n'ai plus de l'argent. (Do you have some money? No, I do not have any money.)
or should it be: Non, je n'ai plus d'argent.
Bonjour. I am guessing that using sortir for the release of a film is an exception to the rule. It appears to me that the example provided does contain a direct object immediately following the verb: "Le nouveau James Bond est sorti la semaine dernière." i.e. "la semaine".
I'm curious about the adjective placement in "fervent défenseur." Would it be equally correct to say "un défenseur fervent" as a way to start this sentence?
Why is it "la confiture d'abricot" but, "la confiture de la fraise"? Shouldn't it be "la confiture d'abricot" and "la confiture de fraise"?
Or: "la confiture de l'abricot" and "la confiture de la fraise"?
Just curious as to which is correct.
Merci
I might be wrong, but I hear everywhere that "excité" has a sexual connotation in French, unlike in English. If it's right, I think it would be better to change the adjective here.
