1. la pêche industrielle cause de graves dégâts aux écosystèmes marins.

2. les générations futures ne connaîtront jamais la riche biodiversité de nos océans.

In the above two sentences, is there any reason why riche and graves go before the nouns they qualify?  

The lesson to explain when to use le subjontif or l'indicatif doesn't, in plain language explain the trigger to cause one to use either tense. It needs to more deeply describe when and why each tense is chosen. This, of course, is my opinion as a student.

In the first paragraph "Santa claus " is used instead of Pere noel. Can we use santa claus in french as well??

Is there a way to get a quiz on a particular lesson in the Notebook rather than a quiz on everything in the notebook?   Thank you.

Do you lose 2 marks for each error you make in the translations?

First up, this a lovely poem. Second, is there a context where I should use "magique" and a different condition under which I should use "sorciere"?

Is "le 3 septembre et je dois rentrer le 7 septembre" really what is said when played back.  I can't make out rentrer. The word sounds more like renpris.  I'm confused.  Just checking to verify.

Thank you
