Does the site have information on the colloquial uses of tenir? "Je vous tiendrai au courant." I'll keep you informed, so it's the metaphorical meaning of keep, not hold or take. There must be other examples.

Dimanche ou le dimanche

Le dimanche implique tous les dimanches, non ? Donc je pense que la réponse donnée n'est pas exactement correcte.

I fell foul on literal translation

I repeatedly fall foul over “docteur” vs “médecin(e)”, and became even more confused with the phrase “why do you want to see the doctor” when the call was made to see the dentist. So I’m thinking, should it be “want to see the doctor Bernard”. My understanding is “docteur” is the title, and “médicin(e)” is the profession, and in this case “le dentiste”. And then I’m tripped up by “teeth cleaning” when in practice you would probably say “a descale” but that didn’t come to mind at the time !

Elle va revenir dans cinq minutes. vs Elle revient dans cinq minutes.

In the Quiz, "She'll be back in five."

Why is Elle revient dans cinq minutes, chosen over as the correct response and not "Elle va revenir dans cinq minutes"?

How do one differentiate when to use Le Present vs Le Futur Proche (aller + infinitive)?

Beaucoup de

Why "des murs d'escalade" instead of "de murs d'escalade"? Note "beaucoup d'obstacles."
