à, en, sur

bonjour forum et les experts

Au sujet de la phrase suivante 'je devrais être en train de boire un expresso en (à une) terrasse

je comprends bien la phrase, mais je demande pour quoi on ne peux pas l'écrire avec un 'sur' en place d'un à ou un en. N'est-ce pas aussi correct, 'je devrais être en train de boire un expresso sur une terrasse'?

What is that?

I have returned to A0 as part of my revision programme and are still puzzled by the following-

What is the Pantheon? My answer was

Marked incorrect.

However I notice in 'Lawless French' (which I understand is 'related' to Kwiz)

Quel + être

Quel est … ? means "what is … ?"Quels sont … ? means "what are … ?"

Par exemple…

Quelle est la solution ? What’s the solution?Quels sont les cours les plus intéressants?

I apreciate the lesson is on Qu'est-ce que, but why is my answer wrong? What are the most interesting classes?

Find, when it means "search for"

In "I went online to find tapas recipes" shouldn't the verb for find be chercher rather than (or at least as well as) trouver?

A couple of minor comments

Since the 1990 spelling reforms we should be allowed to write "s'il vous plaît" with or without the little hat (circonflexe) on the "ï", but this exercise doesn't allow us the option of leaving it off (in either of the 2 sentences where it occurred).

Also (and this is even more minor) the "hint" gave us the wrong spelling of "Guinness", although it was then correct in the actual answer.

loyaux/fidèles

I came across "Mes amis sont très..." with the prompt, "My friends are very loyal.", during a practice exercise mixed with other assorted grammar concepts. Not realizing at the time that it was an exercise to practice different -al endings, my first instinct was to put "fidèles" rather than "loyaux". Could "fidèles" be an alternative answer?

Is there any difference between défi and défiance?

I just knew the word défi. And I would imagine the word comes from défiance. Is there any difference between these two words? Thank you.
