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.
OK so I selected "Elle va revenir dans cinq minutes" as in she is going to come back in 5 minutes.
However the correct answer was "Elle revient dans cinq minutes".
Are these not both correct, I mean apart from being word perfect?
Can you say "elle m'a tendu le doigt" instead of "sa doigt" because you know it's her finger? I thought when it's obvious to whom the body part belongs, the French prefer not to specify as in "J'ai mal à la tête."
I wrote "et on avait trop bu pour me mettre au volant" but there was only one option which was "on avait trop bu pour que je prenne le volant". Why is the first expression not an additonal option?
I have read that we cannot use same subject both main clause and subordinate clauses.
But I have seen that example in the "bien que" usage
Je suis satisfait bien que je n'aie pas fini à temps.I'm satisfied even though I didn't finish on time.
if it is possible that using same subject in the main and the subordinate clause, what are the rules for using same subject?
I wish your helps
Merci beaucoup

Hi, Just checking. - Are the grammar videos supposed to have soundtracks? Mine are silent and I've checked all my volume controls. The sample phrases are fine, though. Best regards, Val
Cette argile is corrected to Cet argile yet argile is listed as feminine in the dictionary.
Looking for more detail on these verbs, I couldn't find ANY French verb conjugation sites that conjugated verbs like AMUSER, MAQUILLER, REPOSER, or even DÉCÉDER with ÊTRE. They all use AVOIR. Why is that?
Tu es reste' enferme' ____________ une heure. I put "pendent" which should have been "durant". I have reviewed the lesson and can't find any distinction between pendent and durant. What am I missing?
