A small French correction.

Bonjour Madame,

There is a line in this comprehension as - “Ça n’entraîne pas des frais très très importants.”

Should it not be ‘de’ ? I am taught that whenever negative comes, then indefinite article ‘des’ changes to ‘de’. Being a beginner, I may be incorrect . Please provide further clarification.

Bonne journée !

Avec + aucun d'entre eux

Can I use "avec aucun d'entre eux"

For example

I refused to share the money with any of them. J'ai refusé de partager l'argent avec aucun d'entre eux.

Vous avez passé votre examen

"Vous avez passé votre examen" according to google translate (and my intiution) means Vous avez passé votre examen.

But here it says: "You took your exam".

Question needs rewording Nous sommes professeurs.'' Who can be speaking? Alain and Georges, Georges and Fiona, Fiona and Judy, Fiona, Georges. Why can't *Fiona* or *Georges* be speaking on their own? e.g Fiona is talking to a group of people about herself and another person. She says "Nous sommes professeurs". Likewise for Georges. The sentence does not require two people to be speaking simultaneously."

Languedoc-Roussillon.

I came across this Q/A

Mes parents vivent ________ Languedoc-Roussillon

The only answer accepted is dans le Languedoc-Roussillon yet I have seen numerous instances en Languedoc-Roussillon cited in many august sources.

I will reference only one from INSEE:

"La pauvreté en Languedoc-Roussillon" - www.insee.fr/fr/statistiques/1894450

Is INSEE wrong?

What does 'vous veniez me voir chaque semaine'

I chose 'you used to come to see me every week'.

it was marked incorrect and the correct answer was ' you used to come and see me every week'.

voir means to see and there is no 'et' in the sentence

Please explain why this is correct. I couldn't find an answer in my research.

thanks

Intonation

In this lesson all questions seem to end at a low point, while in the si-lesson, all questions end at a high point. Isn't the latter intonation pattern the correct form for questions in French?

Vocabulaire

I lost marks more for the wrong word or phrase rather than the wrong grammer. Most of the grammar details for each section I had got right or nearly. I don't know if there is any way of helping us to know or guess the correct form of words.

It's all good practice though, so thanks.
