Weekend workouts

Hi, do the weekend workouts get added to the relevant category (in this case Writing B1)?

I’m wondering if I’m seeing the WWs by working through the main Writing/Reading/etc. categories, or if I need to go through the WWs as an additional activity.

Nous avons goûté les rougails à la saucisse

We say “j’aime le chocolat” (in general) or “j’ai mangé du chocolat” (a quantity). So I thought the translation for “we tasted sausage rougails with yellow rice” might be “nous avons goûté DES rougails”, but the answer was “nous avons goûté LES rougails”. I thought it would follow the same logic as the accompanying yellow rice, “… avec du riz jaune”. But my reasoning is obviously not quite correct. Can someone please explain why “les” and not “des” for the rougails?

Would this be passé composé or imparfait?

Hello,

This is the sentence I'm talking about: He was sick all day yesterday.

This is why I'm confused:

a) It could be imparfait because I believe that when you talk about health, you use the imparfait.

b) It could be passé composé because you know the time-frame of when it (him being sick) took place: all day yesterday.
