Bonjour

Can one as an alternative to "deux sucettes au caramel" write "deux sucettes caramélisées"? This is in line with phrases like "porc salé" and "bouillon aromatisé".

Or, does "deux sucettes au caramel" imply lollipops that contain pieces of caramel compared to "deux sucettes caramélisées" that implies lollipops with a caramel flavour?

I know that this is not a question related to grammar or vocabulary, but I don't see where else to address the problem since there is no link to report an issue. 

While doing this exercise it skipped forward before I could give myself a grade. Because of this, my score was five points lower. Not a big deal, but a little discouraging, since I would have given myself a close to perfect score. Just wondering why this happens sometimes?

Hello, 

Comment écrit-on la fraction-> 1 5/16, 5 1/2, 3 2/3, etc.  Je sais écrire la fraction de base, mais quand on ajoute un nombre entier, je suis déconcerté

please direct me to a lesson on how/when to use passé composé with imparfait in a sentence

In the beginning of the text, according to the context, "j'ai travaillé" could very well have been "je travaillais". 
In fact, the second is more probable since it fits better: "A few years ago I was working at..." as opposed to " A few years ago I worked at..."

Perhaps this page should also include an explanation when to use "quel".

As far as i remember, one uses "Quel" when the verb is "etre". Is that correct?

Vous laissez tomber = You drop? Is that a valid alternative?

Could someone explain the phrase: "marechal des logis chef..." ? 

If he is the chief or boss shouldn't it read: "le chef du/de la/d'...." ?

Merci !

Could a sentence like "Pâques est la fête la deuxieme plus célébrée en France, après Noël" work?
