"their noses and their heads" why le nez but leur tête and why singularPendant les vacances de Pâques, j'ai emmené mes enfants à Brest, en Bretagne, afin qu'ils puissent visiter Océanopolis qui est l'un des plus grands aquariums de France. Depuis les trente dernières années, des millions de visiteurs en ont franchi les portes. Mes enfants étaient déjà fascinés par toutes les créatures marines qu'ils avaient vues jusque-là pendant la visite, mais quand nous sommes entrés dans le pavillon "Bretagne". ils n'en ont pas cru leurs yeux ! Dans cette section du parc, il y avait environ quarante aquariums remplis d'animaux marins qui vivent le long des côtes bretonnes : des homards bleus bretons, des hippocampes et des méduses "Aurélie" translucides. À un moment donné, les enfants avaient le nez collé contre la vitre d'un aquarium, quand soudain, un énorme requin scie est passé au-dessus de leur tête ! Quelle expérience inoubliable !

c'est un ange

Salut,

pourquoi on dit "C'est un ange !" quand on parle de la fillette ?

la fillette = elle, n'est-ce pas?

Merci.

La foule va adorer ! vs La foule va l´adorer !

Is there some reason to use one or the other? It seems to me that there needs to be an object for ¨adorer¨...?

Incorrect "hint"

Why does the "Hint" have: "-'it' = l'hotel", but considers "L'hotel..." as incorrect?  I originally used "Il..." (considered correct) and changed it due to the hint!
