thes dessert that she craves- why not que?

The English given is: I almost got there late. Why isn't it J'ai failli y arriver en retard?

Similar to the question previously from Frank on 'choose a/my career' (and as G noted in his response), the English to be translated is "I found teachers fascinating" but only 'mes professeurs' is accepted. Either the English should be changed to 'my teachers' or "les professeurs" added to the accepted translation. 

What is the status of new languages?  I am learning what you have done with French and want to do Italian next!

I'm trying to get 100% in A0 and it's incredible hard. 
I had 98,50% and have made dozens of tests - each good of them gave me around +0,10%. It wouldn't be a problem, but each test with even only one mistake took around -1% from my score!
So I spent time getting i.e. 99,60% and then boom - couple of mistakes or even typos (cause I'm getting nervous and angry) throw me back to 97% - even lower than I was before.
I start even thinking I don't need this 100% at all...

The answer transalted to English is actually ' the more you eat chocolate the happier you are'. I would argue that the more chocolate you eat and the more you eat chocolate are not the same thing.

'la maison de poupées' is NOT 'the doll's house'.  It is 'the dolls house' or, more pedantically 'the dolls' house'

may anyone answer my question please:when do we use imparfait and is there any sameness between the two tense

many tks 

I notice in the phrase 'était apparue gracieusement sur cet étrange engin' the adverb is placed after the participle, not the conjugated verb. Am I right in thinking adverbs normally go directly after the conjugated verb ?
