French language Q&A Forum

I am confused by how these words are used. In the Reader above the second paragraph begins: Pour commencer, j'espère de tout cœre qu'il fera beau.....Why is ce qu'ilnot used?

Why isn't it soit d'argent 

I struggled with this translation.  Part of it is not having sufficient vocabulary to do it (mostly because of not having been exposed to much of it in previous work) and part of it is not knowing exactly what the expected answers might be.  I have come to dread these exercises (I much prefer the dictees) and feel really quite inadequate at the end of each.  Should I drop back a level and work on B1 rather than B2 exercises or should I just say to  **** with it all and be content with the (inadequate) level of proficiency I've acquired?  I am feeling very discouraged!!

In a quiz just taken, in making an adverb from "courant",  courammant was marked wrong and couramment was correct.  Is courant just different?

Désormais is not given as an option. Is there a reason for that ?

What is wrong with this?

When the final answer to the text is presented, why is

"j'ai appris beaucoup sur la culture française"  favoured over

"j'ai beaucoup appris sur la culture française" ?

Any rules here ? 

Thanks. Paul.

With respect, I think that this lesson fails to make a clear distinction between the many different ways of using "to miss" and "missing" in English and "manquer" and "rater" in French. I suggest that the lesson be broken down and recreated as several lessons, each with a clear learning objective. 

1. Tu vas à London.

2. Tu réponds aux questions.

3. Nous allons à London.

4. Tu as de la patience.

5. Vous allez a l'école en bus.

6. Tu écoutes de la musique.
