Bonjour - i'm confused as to why this is tierce instead of troisième.  The lesson stated that tierce is used for fractions or portions and troisième is used for rank or order.  A third party witness sounds like a ranking/ordering to me, and not a fraction or portion.

Would appreciate clarification.

Merci

The following sentence is given as an example in a dictionary explanation for "le lendemain".

"Il a été décrété que le lendemain serait un jour férié".

Is this sentence grammatically incorrect because it uses the conjugated verb serait after le lendemain?

I have  celebrated Hanoucca with my family and friends for many years. We never have a Hanoucca bush! This is a symbol that is related to Christmas and has nothing to do with Hanukah. Please correct this, it is misleading and upsetting for people to think that we decorate a bush. 

Thank you for your wonderful website and weekly exercises.
