jusque chez Julien

I notice in the example, Martine walks "jusque chez Julien". More often you see jusqu’à (or au, à la etc). Is à omitted here because "chez" is already a preposition, as well as denoting Julien’s house?

"Nous t'avons tant désiré pendant si longtemps...."

I'm wondering why the verb tense here doesn't match the English sentence that was given : "We **had wanted** you so much for so long... ".

Alternatives for hugging

Why could you not use étreinte or embrasser for hugging please? Enlacement only returns as one option in dictionaries and DeepL and Google translate so why is it preferred here? Thanks.

René veut sortir en dépit de la pluie.

The question asked for the correct version translated with despite not in spite but this is still labeled correct. I'm confused.

va á and adapte á

There was an earlier quiz where "something fitted someone" and the answer was APADTE Á. I also remember that VA Á was not one of the options. When is 'adapte á" appropriate?

Paul's question re use of subjunctive

Auparavant, Paul et Cecile connaissent la raison de l'utilisation du subjonctif. J'ai cherché la bibliothèque de Kwiziq en ce qui concerne le mot meilleur et le subjonctif mais je n'ai rien trouvé. Est-ce que vous pouvez en élaborer ?

The comma is taken for granted

The pronunciation is taken for granted in this lesson. It should be included.
