I just realized that qui is used for living things,  trick question eh

I believe that “I arrived the day he left” refers to a non-specific timeframe and therefore should use the feminine form, but it was marked wrong on my test and the masculine “la jour” was said to be correct instead. Can someone explain to me why this would be the case, or if it’s an error?

Why not?

Ils me n'ont pas pris...  I thought object pronouns preceded the negation.

The audio for the line sounds like > 

In "économiser beaucoup de l'argent", why is there a definite article after the "de"?

In the 5th sentence of the full text to read and listen to, the audio says "Mon fils David, lui va être un loup garou", but the text shows "Mon fils David va être un loup garou". 

In answer to Stephen's question:

Aurelie wanted to write a little poem for us to make it more fun and enjoyable. 

"Baluchon" rhymes with "regions". 

I learned a new word: "Baluchon". It is a bit old-fashioned and I can picture a hobo with his "baluchon" over his shoulder.

This lesson was also a nice review of: "galettes" and "beffroi".

Merci !

Some advice please on when to use vouloir in the present versus the conditional for "I want".  In English, insofar as I know, we don't distinguish between "I want" and "I would like".  On second though, perhaps "I want" expresses a slightly stronger desire.
