Is there a lesson which covers this case of using an adverb "bien" instead of an adjective "bonne" ?  

Personally I din't like this exercise at all

In the last sentence,  you give the hint, match.  I interpreted this hint as suggesting the use of the French word, match, for the English word, game, in the English version of the sentence.  Obviously, I was wrong.  Perhaps there is another suggestion that would be less ambiguous?

May I suggest that it would be useful to include this link with the list of related grammar and vocab. It explains how Quebec is treated as a country rather than a province, ie. "au Quebec" rather than "dans le Quebec."

In “Je me suis donc retrouvée dans une cabine relativement spacieuse dans laquelle pouvaient coucher jusqu'à six voyageurs.” why is it pouvaient as opposed to pouvait? As the subject (une cabine) is singular I was expecting pouvait. 

This strikes me as strange phrase.  Can you explain a little how the parts semantically make up the whole?  Thanks!

Hello everyone.

I'm reading the book, La Belle et La Bête, and I saw une année passe. Why does it use année instead of an?

Thank you 

'Mon frère qui habite en France.' I would assume it's wrong to use 'à qui' or 'auquel' in this context, but I don't know why? When is it most suitable to use 'qui'?

Another one of those nuances that I cannot really see any pattern to is when to use the words "soir" or "nuit". "Soir" seems to be used more frequently with the phrase "every night" ("tous les soirs", "chaque soir") but not exclusively. Every now & then I see "tous les nuits" or "chaque nuit" for the same phrase. 

Should "nuit" be used only when there is a specific time frame, like when somebody works a night shift or the specific time is given that makes it obvious that the action is taking place "at night", & "soir" be used in a more generic sense?
