In one quiz question it states :

Quand j'étais enfant, ________ au chœur du collège.

When I was a child, I used to belong to the high school choir.

(HINT: Use "appartenir" (to belong))

The correct English for collège is middle school. Lycée is high school. 

I believe that the adjective arrière is invariant; hence, no need for the plural.   If I recall, there was another instance of this in this weekend workout.

when do you use dans for "in" instead of à

Hello, I have a technical question. Why aren’t these called possessive pronouns? Is the term interchangeable with possessive adjectives? It’s been a long time since I’ve been in school, but I don’t remember the term “possessive adjectives” at all.  Thank you.

Could someone please explain when to use which of the above?   Thanks

In the quiz there's a sentence that reads:

Christophe finissait son déjeuner quand les autres sont arrivés. 

The English translation says

Christopher was finishing his breakfast when the others arrived. 

The quiz says déjeuner not petit-déjeuner. 

This exercise uses "la batterie à plat elle aussi."  I don't uderstand the need for "elle."  What purpose does it serve?

I think this was the most difficult writing challenge I have ever completed.  Both the vocabulary and the grammar were extremely difficult.

My Notebook is too long and complicated, can I easily divide it into two or more Notebooks?

Why does she say le nom des plants, but not les noms as plural?

On the introductory page of the dictée "Rendez-vous pour le contrôle technique", the word is spelled 'defectueux'. But in the body of the exercise, in section four where it appears, it is spelled 'défecteux'.
