Hi, for “but I used to play it all the time when I was a teenager” we are given the answer “mais j'y jouais tout le temps lorsque j'étais adolescente”.

I had put “mais je le jouais…”. What’s a good way to interpret why it should be “y” and not “le”?

Thanks, Brian

she had to face the facts

About 'face the facts', is it also correct to translate it as ' faire face aux réalités'.

I think 'faire face à ' is a very common expression.

"égalité" & "liberté" or "l'égailté" & "la liberté"

In the answers to "and equality also means freedom", it seems as if "l'égalité" and "la liberté" can be used in place of "égalité" and "liberté".

Does this mean that if you use "l'égailté" that you should also use "la liberté", or if you use "égalité" you should use "liberté"? Or is there some subtlety with the verb chosen that would require the use of an article?

Subjonctif passé for "jusqu'à ce que"?

Could you say "jusqu'à ce que j'aie trouvé la personne" instead of "jusqu'à ce que je trouve la personne"?

Aux environs de midi - not accepted

"Aux environs de midi" is being red-lined, although it could be cut and pasted directly from Larousse.

Confusing question

Questions including sentenses like "This bedroom is grey. - Yes, it's grey here." make absolutley no sense to me.

What is "Yes, it's grey here" referring to? The weather, or a completely different bedroom perhaps.

As I have no idea, I have to quess and and so keep getting the answer wrong.

I would be grateful if you could tell me what the question means by using different words.
