Why is it "J'ai du mal à (verb)", instead of "J'ai du mal a (verb)"? 

I only know we use it for locations, such as "Je suis à Paris" 

"...vous pourrez programmer votre combinaison personnelle quand vous arriverez ici." (recommended answer)

"...vous pourrez programmer votre combinaison personnelle quand vous serez arrivés ici." (marked incorrect)

While I do realize that the construction is covered at a higher level than this writing exercise, I was curious if the second sentence is grammatically or situationally incorrect? Or maybe just not preferred?

Merci!

Just wondering why it's 'en matinee', but 'dans la soiree?'

Hi, just a little correction, soixante-dix should be at the top of the list :)

when is une peinture un tableau?

il a mangé de magnifiques gâteaux

j'ai vu des entroits magnifiques

what is the significance of the adjective before / after the nown?

This isn't really related to the lesson itself, but in the little quiz under the lesson, for "Je l'aime bien qu'il soit un peu paresseux." the answer was "I love him although he's a bit lazy." (which I answered correctly so no questions on "bien que") but isn't "aimer bien" is closer to "like" than "love" as taught in your lesson about this verb? 

Hello, today while watching the news I picked up the sentence:

on a isolé les murs au cas où nous devions rester longtemps.

I wonder why "devrait" is not used in this case.

And can we use e.g. /dans le cas où + sentence/ instead of /au cas où + sentence/ ?

Merci.
