Why is your answer Je vais à piscine and not Jee vais à la piscine. 

pourquoi pas "je n'y manquerais pas pour rien au monde"? does manquer not work here ? i thought this was a standard phrase to use. 

Am I missing how you marked my submission? What I wrote was at least 50% correct, maybe even 70%. Without seeing my errors, half the learning disappears. 

I'm working my way through grammar topics in my French course, and I'm finding it a little difficult to isolate which topics I haven't got a 100% score yet. When I go to the FRENCH GRAMMAR LESSONS library, is there a filter or something that shows you only those lessons which you haven't practiced and/or completed?

Can you please explain the difference in meaning between "Tu peux ne pas venir." and "Tu ne peux pas venir"?

Why the imperfect for Sophie and Grandma, but the perfect tense for the parents ?

This type of exercise is my favorite, where there is an almost one-to-one equivalence between the English and French words and groups of words for translation. I have two small questions. 

1. To denote nutritious, can we say: nutritif or nutritive?

2. To denote recover, can we say: se rétablir ainsi que récupérer?

Thanks!

I thought a phrase starting with " En grandissant.." would trigger the imperfect. However in this particular writing exercise of B1: "A Childhood Passion" the sentences that follows that aforementioned "gérondif" are in the simple past.
