In the US, one of the few French words that most of us Americans think we know is "hors d'œuvres"-- to us, it means appetizers. Yet, "hors d'œuvres" isn't an option in the context of a NY Eve party in France? I think of an "amuse-bouche" being something that is served between courses in an elaborate meal, a "canapé" is something on a cracker (savory biscuit), and a "petits fours" is a tiny cube of cake, frosted with a ganache and decorated daintily. Can someone please clarify?

arriver, to manage, also uses être as the auxiliary verb?I answered the quiz using 'as arrivé' for 'managed', but it was marked wrong and this is the linked page. There are other verbs which sometimes and avoir and sometimes être depending on meaning. Do I correctly understand that with arriver it only uses être? Thank you, Terri

Jusque and Jusqu'à

Is there any logic why jusque is sometimes followed by à and sometimes not? Like here it's jusque-là but otherwise you've got something like jusqu'à maintenant...?
