Hi Kwiziq
When trying to answer the waterpolo query, my study notes indicated most of the time “jouer à” was used for team sports; plus if a ball is used, also “jouer à”.
I therefore used jouer, and it was marked wrong and I was supposed to use “faire de”.
Any comments on how you can help us to remember/learn this topic?
Thank you in anticipation.

How to say 6:30 in french
Where is the “Jargon Busters” referred to in the top of the lesson?
In the follow sentance someone is reporting back what was said to them.
"donc, au beau milieu de la nuit tu serais allé boire un verre d'eau et tu aurais vu une soucoupe volante dans le jardin, excuse-moi!"
Why is the conditional being used here instead of the passe compose. And if I were to speak this sentance using the passe compose would it be incorrect. Thanks.
How do you know whether or not an adjective goes before or after the noun?
The end of the passage states, "d'ici trois jours ouvrables" or "dans", but the English phrase to translate is "within" so should en not be used instead of dans? En being within and dans being similar to after ex number of days.
Can you explain when to choose toi in place of tu?
The lesson on professions and pronouns says that when an adjective is used a pronoun is needed.
So would : "Catherine, une ancienne prof de philo"
be acceptable
