il s’en occupe tout de suite

i answered the quizz with “of it” and “of him”. but “of him” was wrong , yet “of them” was correct

what is the difference between ”take care of him” vs “take care of them”. one is right, one is wrong but they both relate to ‘a person/people’ not things.

he takes care of him right away.

he takes care of them right away

he takes care of it right away

dans vs en vs nothingI'm sorry--I get this distinction wrong on every test. Here are three examples from the explanation page. # 3 J'habite la rue Pasteur I live on Pasteur Road # 6 J'habite rue Pasteur. I live on Pasteur Road. # 15 J'habite dans la rue Pasteur I live on Pasteur Road What is the difference?

"Changer de"

Why is there "de" after "changer"? Just as we see in your example: "Je devrai changer de vêtements" why not "les" or "des"?
I always wondered about this, and very interested to find out answer (if there is a specific rule, or it's just one more thing we have to cram)

France uses metric, when do they use "la livre"?

In Germany "ein Pfund" (a pound) is used for 500 gm (one pound = approx. 454 gm). Do the French use "une livre" this way? If not, what would they sell by the pound instead of by the kilo?

Is there a way to slow the speaker down? This is my most challenging aspect of learning French...understanding what is being said.
