Difference between quiz question and lesson examples« Je possède trois appartements, ---- deux sont loués » is one of the kwiziq questions in this section.
« J'ai trois enfants, dont deux qui sont au collège. » is one of the examples from the lesson.
Also from the lesson " If including / [number] of which is followed by a conjugated verb, in French you need to add a relative pronoun (qui or que / qu') in front of the verb. "
There is no space in the question to write "dont deux qui sont loués" in the quiz answer.
Is this a mistake in the question/answer format, or is there a grammatical reason for the difference -eg passive voice - that I am missing ? The explanation and examples in the lesson do not seem to match the answer this question, as presented, appears to call for.
"un ogre grand comme une maison"
I've learned that adjectives that represent size (like grand, petit, gros, etc) should come before the noun. But in this sentence it is after the noun. Could someone please explain why?
I understood ¨pelle¨ as shovel. Is there no difference?
Is prendre l'air an idiomatic expression? What does it mean, please? (e.g. to put on airs, to act in a certain way, etc.??)

I get what this article is saying but I'm still confused of what my book said:
ex:
Vous avez passé la journee a la plage, les garcons?
A la plage? Non! Nous, on a fait du skate avec des copains.
In here, why was 'on' before 'nous'?
Being in a line is not English for 'queuing up' ... even in your examples, you don't translate '..fait la queue ...' in this way.
In the sentence
Je savais de plus en plus ce que je voulais
Can't it be que instead of ce que
And since ce que is what which means noun why we used de plus en plus and why imparfait is used not passé composé? Also if there is a verb before the blank and a noun after what would we use de plus en plus or de plus en plus de ? If nothing is after then?
I just saw in an exercice- Il a pris la voiture de son ami.
The answer with the pronoms- il lui a pris la voiture.
Here the preposition is 'de', not 'à'.
How to understand this?
Could someone please clarify the rule for choosing between à laquelle and de laquelle in a sentence such as:
"The girl I'm thinking of is Isabelle." : La fille ________ je pense est Isabelle. "
I understand that they both translate "about/of whom" but they are not interchangeable.
Thanks in advance!
