French language Q&A Forum

I was seeking an answer to the same question posed by White below. It can quite easily be included in a lesson for the sake of completion. Some examples of "exceptions" would be welcome. 

In the translation of 'it's not sufficient' why is 'cela' preferred over 'ce' in the phrase 'cela n'est pas suffisant' ?

Why is it Marc l'a regardée and not Marc l'a regardé. Surely the latter is feminine? Thankyou

How do you know which to use, between auquel and à laquelle? Is the first masculine and the second feminine?

Questions on ‘partir, sortir, quitter’ which comprise one, some or all answers are so inconsistent, I find it very irritating. Sometimes when I choose all three (excluding ‘laisser’ of course), only ‘partir’ is the answer deemed acceptable. sometimes, when I select ‘partir’ only, all three are given as correct. More context please.

J'ai vraiment apprécié cette dictée.  J'ai adoré leur enthousiasme pour les Bleus.  Je regarde la Coupe du Monde tous les 4 ans bien que je ne connaisse pas grand chose au foot!

As the English was 'bedsheets', draps de lit should be accepted as correct - it got the blue line through 'de lit'. There may be regional differences, but in Australia we would usually not say 'bedsheets' unless being very specific, and 'sheets' would be the same as 'draps'. 

French people in Australia will often revert to saying 'bed linen' or sometimes 'bed sheets', but avoid 'sheets' because the French accent changes "I have the sheets" to a rather colloquial expression !

Is the following sentence correct?

Je ne comprends  rien.

 Sounds strange to me.

My teacher taught me that une robe blanc et noir would be une robe blanche et noire

Please could we have English translations of the dictation passages? A dictionary does not always help with some of the vocabulary used e.g. 'rustre'
