Hi! I've been living in Québec for a while now and i just wanted to check something? When I translated turn off the light as fermer la lumière, it said that the correct way to say was éteindre la lumière. i've never heard anyone say that before, it's always fermer when you want to translate turn off. Is that just a Québec thing? I thought everyone said that

Il ________ descendu le drapeauI ran into this prompt on the quiz "Il ________ descendu le drapeau, car la reine avait quitté le palais." The correct answer is "il a descendu." Why is it "a" and not "avait"? I feel this is more of an English question than a french question. We have "la reine avait quitté." So shouldn't it be "il AVAIT descendu"? When should we use avait and avait for both clauses?

Writing Challenge Week 57, level A1. I'm learning to play the piano.The sentence is 'I am learning to play the piano.' The correct answer is "J'apprends à jouer du piano." Does the à go with the apprendre or with jouer? What is the link to the appropriate lesson? Thank you - I'm stumped! Terri

Pas de Quoi ?

The sentence I am trying to make sense of is: "Pas de quoi rigoler a priori mais tonton.......". My understanding is: "Nothing to laugh at in the last statement but uncle....". Am I correct and is the "Pas de Quoi" part really just a shortening of: Il y a pas de quoi?

Your help will be greatly appreciated.
