Why is it "en weekend" instead of "un weekend"?  Surely,the article is called for rather than the preposition.  Thanks.

Does effort refer to the skiing activity or to the production of the raclette ?   The sentence seems a bit ambiguous.

Hello-

 For this question: Nadia ________ un bébé. The two choices are attend or s'attende. I went with attend, since the lessons says that attendre (non-pronomial) is always used for expecting a baby, but I was marked wrong.

«Elle vient d'envoyer une lettre à son amie à Londres»

This question tests this lesson but includes the phrase "son amie" -- can that ever be correct?

Hi, I was wondering why the words 'étudient' et 'enseignant' were not accepted for 'student' and 'teacher'. 

Merci!

I note the examples of needing to go shopping use 

J’ai besoin d’aller faire les courses. Je dois aller faire les courses.

Another lesson on shopping used faire les courses without a preceding “aller”. Is there a difference in meaning?b.

HI,

I was wondering I took the test and the question asked me if je suis professeur is Leon or Marie and I put Leon cause it's a masc ending but was marked wrong? Then the next question was  je suis acteur and select Michael or Catherine or both of them and when I chose both of them it was marked wrong and said I should have picked Michael! 

  So why is the word acteur marked for masculine but the professeur is not?

Thanks

Nicole

In my last test the answer was ‘le jour de Pâques‘. I got it wrong. Now the answer is ‘à la Sainte-Catherine‘. I got it wrong. Next the answer is ‘à Noël’. I got it wrong. Could you put all the rules on one page please, so I can see the pattern? Thanks.

Why do we use "c'est aussi" to say "it was"?  Also why "c'est le premier octobre" to say "it was the first of October"?
