Can one say "le jour avant" as well ? 

Why is the definite article not excluded from:

J'ai peur des araignées.  just as it is excluded from the verbal phrase:

J'ai besoin de farine.  or even : J'ai besoin d'araignées

It seems inconsistent.  Is it?

Une mère dit a son fils "Qu'est-ce qui t’intéresse beaucoup?"

Une mère dit a son fils ce qui l’intéresse beaucoup   or  Une mère dit a son fils ce qui lui intéresse beaucoup. 

Please clarify.  TIA.                                                                                                            

I put this lesson in my notebook.  I could test it a second time but not more.  Am I doing something wrong?

I have a doubt if the following direct to indirect speech.  Which one of a & b is right? Thanks in advance.  Une mère demande a son fils

I needed to Google ‘Roland Garros’ to find out that it was the name of what I’m sure most of us know as The French Open. I thought it must be a player so answered accordingly. Thank you for accepting my answer even though it was incorrect!

I don't know if this was just a glitch, but during the exercise in the acceptable answers for "I made my pumpkin pie", the option audio says "J'ai fait ma tarte à la citrouille" but the option text says "J'ai fait ma tarte à citrouille". The text at the end of the exercise under "Here's the full text for you to read and listen to:" is correct.

Why is this correct?  Isn't "quel, quelle etc." only for things? and while Les filles à qui je pense sont géniales is correct is there a difference in meaning between the two?

This is my first time using Kwikiz and I'm kind of disappointed I already see an error?

Tu parle à Marie? I'm still learning but I caught that one easily...
