Meilleur vs MieuxI've checked this one using the Google translator and it agrees with me that the correct translation should be: Son copain est gentil mais le mien est meilleur (not mieux). Please explain.

Agreement of pronounsJust saw this in an online newsfeed. Accompagnée d'un ami originaire, comme elle, de la région lyonnaise, la victime entreprenait la descente de la Roche de Mio, lorsqu'elle a bifurqué dans le couloir pour repérer un passage sensé raccourcir l'itineraire. Is it correct to have the pronouns all agreeing with la victime, even when the victim was male ?

Usage of dernière (please excuse position of accent)In the recent A2 writing challenge - A lousy date, second sentence is "Take my last adventure". Last here means previous. so as per rule it should come after the noun, "Prenez mon aventure dernière". But the correct answer given in the WC is "Correct answer: Prenez ma dernière aventure : ". Why is derniere used before the noun?

Use of "en" rather than "y"In "she gives me four every week," shouldn't it be "elle m'y donne" rather than "elle m'en donne"? Isn't "en" only used where the article is "de"? As far as I know, it's "donner à," not "donner de."

Could you also use aucun?She doesn't have any milk left. "Elle n'a plus aucun de lait" Would that be considered wrong?
