"Papaoutai" = "Papa où t'es"?
Are these terms interchangeable?
can one also say "où je passais tout mon temps libre" since dans lesquelles refers to a place.?
The lesson doesn't say if it's okay to replace the pronouns un & autre with subject nouns. E.g for: 'Neither Julien nor Sophie can come.' can you say 1) 'Ni Julien ni Sophie ne peuvent venir.' ? or do you have to say 2)'Julien et Sophie ne peuvent venir, ni l'un ni l'autre' or how about 3) 'Ils ne peuvent venir, ni Julien ni Sophie.' ? Or are all three okay?
I am reading an easy french novel and am confused about the grammer in these instances:
Il ne vous reste qu'a (with accent acute) vous enfuir.
qu'est-ce que j'ai a (with accent acute) perdre
why is the enfuir not conjugated, and preceded by the a?
why do you need the a before the perdre?
thanks for your help

In a quiz my answer to "You [formal] are cold" was "Vous êtes froid" but it was marked wrong with the correct answer supposed to be Vous avez froid. Contradictions the lesson entirely !
Why the use of the subjunctive in "un avenir qui nous plaise"?
Which rule of grammar covers the word order for the sentence below?:
The hint given is «In French, invert the verb and subject “the…spirits that make the planters”
des alcools de palme artisanaux que fabriquent les planteurs
The model provides this sentence:
Nous mangerons dans une heure.
But a quiz corrected my response of
Nous mangerons dans trente minute seulement.
With
Nous mangerons en trente minute seulement.
My understanding was that "will" was the cue for "dans", but evidently not. Any clarification will help. Thanks.
