Pourquoi de onze pas d’onze?La Fausse des Mariannes est profonde de onze kilomètres.

This answer was said to be correct however I had not ticked it because I thought « de onze » was incorrect. Why isn’t it « d’onze » ?

Suggestion to improve the lessonI assume the reason this topic was recommended is because I chose to use l'imparfait instead of passé composé. This lesson would be better if it provided more information about when to use passé composé over l'imparfait. Although examples are good, I don't think samples are not sufficient to cover usage.

faire du waterpolo?

I was marked wrong for "jouer au waterpolo". The correct answer was revealed to be "faire du waterpolo". Can you explain why waterpolo takes "faire de"? I consider it a team sport, it uses balls, all hallmarks for me to use jouer à.

Merci !

Je m’en veux mais il n’y a rien que je puisse faire pour y échapper.Hello. In your Week 35 B2 writing test, the above phrase triggers the subjunctive. It translates as: "I feel bad about it, but there's nothing that I can do to get out of it!" I suspect that it may be the emotion "I feel bad ... that" that triggers the subjunctive, because no desire or need is shown. However I'd be very grateful for any further help with this (extremely idiomatic) phrase! Thank-you
