In the first line, "...I used to sleep all the time." Instead of "je dormais tout le temps", can I write "j'avait l'habitude de dormir tout le temps"?

qu'est-ce que le rideau signifie? 

So, the lesson on combining nouns says to use some form of à when describing a taste and the lesson gives the example of "glace à la vanille."  That seems consistent with my memory of "pain au chocolat."  So why is it "les œufs en chocolat" and not "au chocolat"?  Thanks.

I wrote des vacances and du travail which was wrong, but I don’t know why. Can you explain since this error isn’t covered in this lesson explanation. I still have trouble with these articles. Thanks so much. 

I found this lesson very helpful! 

By the way, what would be the correct way to say "This is correct/ right"?

Merci beaucoup à l'avance.

Why do we say "J'adore la France" but "J'aime Paris" ? Why dont we need to add "le" before "Paris"? 

Il signifie: faire des erreurs.

The sentence "Yet, the brochure was promising" is translated : «  Pourtant, la brochure était prometteuse ».  Why isn't "Quoique, la brochure était prometteuse" correct?

Bonjour Madame Cécile !

The lesson states that when talking about “time”- ‘avant’ and ‘après’ are used.

Now, if a sentence is -> 

1.Mon chien court ______ le petit chat. 

I think here, the answer should be “après” (after) because in English too, we say- The cops ran after the thief. But, why is the answer “derrière” ?

2. Regarde le bel oiseau perché ________ cet arbre ! 

Why is “sur” correct ? I had opted for “dans”. How can we judge the difference between “dans/sur l’arbre” ?

3. On admire les grands palmiers ________ l’île.

Again, here the answer is “sur” ? The other options- “dans/à” are not acceptable. What is the grammatical concept behind this?

Je vous remercierais du fond de mon cœur.

Bonne journée!

Fidèle is an adjective that precedes nouns?
