Fish which Japanese people love (raffoler de) are becoming extinct.

Les poissons dont les japonais raffolent de sont en voie de disparition.

Why is the sont conjugated as well, I thought two verbs couldn't follow each other in conjugated form. I though that one needed to be in infinif form. 

I put in "Le lapin EST disparu" and I was marked as wrong. "A paru" was given as the only correct answer.

I saw "Il a fait les mêmes choix." in the exercise.

Here mêmes is before the noun and choix is plural. Why we don’t use de in this situation? Thank you.

In this lesson the note about the conversational past states that in these cases, the en will be before or after être: formally, it should be before, but in practice, it often ends up after.

Following this advice I put "Nous en nous sommes allés après le dessert.". This was flagged as incorrect, and "Nous nous en sommes allés après le dessert." as being correct. 

This seems inconsistent with the note. I see there have been other questions about this topic. To me, "nous en nous sommes" flows off the tongue better than "nous nous en sommes".

Tu dois rester a la maison 

Google Translate uses the simpler a 11 heures instead of d'ici 11 heures to translate "by 11". Are both acceptable? Is the one used in the lesson preferable? Which is most commonly used?

Bonjour, j'ai un doute

Mon père travaille dans un bureau

Négation: Mon père ne travaille pas dans de bureau

La négation est correcte?

Merci en avance 

Quel est le genre grammatical de 'Paris', et pourquoi pas 'à la campagne' au lieu de 'dehors de la capitale' ?

Surely étonner works for surprising Maman?  I would have thought it would, if anything, be a better choice?  Merci!

Bien joué... always masculine even when talking to a woman????
