Why is it when I asked to be 'kwizzed' on just this lesson, included in the quizz are questions from all of my 'recommended lessons'?  How do I go about finding a quiz with just 'question word' questions in order to give me extra practise with question words?

Thanks for your help........Thirza

I said "Grâce à sa bonté et à sa joie de vivre" instead of "Grâce à sa gentillesse et à sa joie de vivre" and was marked wrong. Isn't "bonté" French for "Kindness"? Thanks.

Instead of 'elle n'a pas remarqué quand le train s'est arrêté', would a French person ever say 'elle ne l'a pas remarqué quand le train s'est arrêté'?

Hi - thanks for this great website. I have a question regarding y and 'la\la-bas'. I am not sure whether they can be used interchangeably? For example we could both say J'y vais ou je vais là and, if so, does it keep the same meaning? Thank you!
