French language Q&A Forum

Hello!

I tried a different way of writing the final sentence, and it wasn't accepted by the exercise engine:

"que l'on peut aujourd'hui savourer le champage aux fines bulles qui se connaît dans le monde entier."

I tried this because the English text specified "[that is]" and I thought it was prompting use of "qui" -- is this grammatically in correct?

Just checking, the number of minutes are written out in full in all the examples - is there ever a situation in French where numerals are written instead? eg 23 instead of vingt-trois.

Would it be an alternative to say:  Ils ont du [accent] leur devoirs avant le diner [accent]" (which I believe translates to  "They must have finished their homework before dinner.")

Can you please explain how these are different?

I translated 'Mother's Day' as 'fête des Mères'  which Kwiziq dinged as a mistake. 

The 2013 Compact Oxford Hachette French Dictionary uses the translation 'fête des Mères' (p  719).

I read that there can be much variety in how such events are spelled. 

Could it simply be that the spelling l used is not yet known by AI Kwiziq? 

Thank you

I don't find it helpful to learn how to conjugate in the passé simple (no plans to become a novelist). I keep getting passé simple questions in my quizzes, which is frustrating because the other C1 grammar is very useful and I want to master those things. Is there any setting that lets us include/exclude certain material from the quizzes?

This link says that an Indirect Object Pronoun can also be introduced by the preposition pour (for).  But I can find only examples with preposition ' à  (to)' ...Can you please share a few examples of Indirect Object Pronouns with preposition pour; can't find them in this lesson and other Indirect Object related lessons.

I am curious about the grammatical function of "de" in a sentence such as the following:

"Je ne prends pas de bonnes résolutions." 

Thank you!

Why do we use the past participle "occupés" after "semblaient" in the third sentence. Why isn't it in the infinitive "occuper"?
