il n'y a pas de meilleure saint Valentin 

I assume it may mean "how unlucky of being pregnant" but how do I know to add the " de/d' "

Is the best way to understand this construction in the context of this lesson to think of the sentence in English as "If Joseph could come, it would be great"? An example of this reversed structure would be good in the lesson.

I've seen both of these as phrases on Kwiziq:

Plus je mange du chocolat... (The more I eat chocolate...)

When do we use the article (la, le) vs de la and du. Specifically, why isn't "Plus je mange le chocolat" correct here?

So how are we going to know  if the question  is a formal or an informal one

In the poem "Tristesses de la lune" by Charles Baudelaire, there is a usage of "ainsi que" like:"Ce soir, la lune rêve avec plus de paresse ; Ainsi qu'une beauté..."

First I failed to include this usage to any of the ones above. However, I'm now inclined to think that it means "this way... that". An explanation would be great. Thanks.

I have noticed that my scores, which once sat at 100% in all 6 levels, sometimes move backwards to, say, 99% without my having attempted a test at that level. I do not do the quizzes in the daily emails but I do do the weekly dictees and writing tests. Can these have effects on the dashboard level scores? Or does Kwiziq just knock off some points if it is has been a very long time since you did a test. Or could it be that I did a "Test recommended" and it threw in a test for a level that was already at 100%, even though I had another level that was at 99%?

Now that is bizarre!
