Tu veux venir à la piscine ? Oui, je le veux.
Why not?
Oui, je la piscine.
Salut,
For the sentence "et les jeudi et vendredi, j'avais mes cours de danse moderne," my "et" is being red-lined and replaced with the English "and" in blue. Not sure if others are experiencing the same problem. Kinda threw me for a loop. Haha.

I don't know what party favours are, let alone what the French word for them might be.
Salut, pouvez-vous m'expliquer la phrase suivante:
Non, mais on devrait vérifier discrètement quand on ira la voir le weekend prochain.
Pourquoi on utilise le futur simple pour "aller"?
Is this lesson basically telling us to memorize these select phrases? Because it doesn't tell us when else to use imperative subjunctive. How can we know?
Is “Il ne vous reste plus que” a phrase?
In my dictionary, the verb, sail, is translated as "naviguer" or "faire de la voile". The latter, which I used in the first sentence, was accepted. I believe that "faire de la voile" was not accepted in the second sentence nor in the last sentence of this exercise. Is there a distinction that I am missing or is it just a question of the use of variation in this paragraph?
I note that there are quests in the past to improve the content of this lesson and I am unsure whether any modifications have been made but it is still difficult to determine when devoir is an appropriate answer as well as avoid besoin de and avoir envie de. Is it that there is an infinitive following if so why only devoir and not avoir envie de as in the case of needing to buy a handbag? Surely it could be made clearer - google is not a reasonable guide and I want to understand!
I dont understand why se faire refaire isn't conjugated to [s'est fait refaire] but s'est fait poser is conjugated.
Also why isn't the causative faire used in the liposuction phrase? :
elle a eu plusieurs liposuccions
