Follow up to question by Cher

I'm sorry, but I still don't quite understand the role of "en" in the sentence referred to. Is it a pronoun to refer to 'Les enquêteurs' ?

de l' changed to d'

Why is the first "Il a de l'argent", but the l' is gone in the negative "Il n'a plus d'argent"

< plongée libre > for free-diving

I have found a number of diving sites that use < plongée libre >, as well as < plongée en apnée >. Decathlon uses both in its advertising, and Collins also translates 'free-diving' to < plongée libre >.

And for snorkelling - Larousse gives < faire de la plongée avec un tuba >, which seems to be about the only expression that gets the red line. (A mask is not essential equipment for snorkelling)

devant qui

Hello,

Would the correct way to say "La boulangerie devant qui j'attends est fermée" be "La boulangerie devant où j'attends est fermée"?

Is there an example where you could use 'devant qui' if used with a 'living thing'? For example, would it be correct to say "Le monsieur devant qui je me tiens tousse"?

brûla pendant huit jours. = burned for eight days.L'huile, qui ne devait brûler qu'un jour, brûla pendant huit jours.The oil, which was supposed to burn only one day, burned for eight days.I have a question in one of the quiz of this lesson, I don't have problem with the use of qui. I just want to know what tense 'brûla' is in. It isn't passe compose nor imperfect. I can't figure out what tense it is.
