What gives?

Why does the example of manquer have this example: “Jacques a raté son train”?

I understood that, when referring to people, qui should be used after a preposition, excepting only parmi and entre. Has this changed?

The translation function does not seem to be working for this exercise.

Merci

Bonjour,

In this example:

Regarde ces filles. Celle qui court s'appelle Sophia

Can I use "Ce qui" instead of "Celle qui" as follows (remember ce qui, ce que, ce dont)?

Regarde ces filles. Ce qui court s'appelle Sophie

Merci d'avance.

Good morning,

My answer to Q7 in this test was wrong.I wrote 'montre' instead of 'montres'.I am not sure why an 's' has been added to 'montre' since the auxiliary verb is avoir and not etre.(I cannot add the accents).I can only assume I've missed a lesson where this is discussed but I suspect it has something to do with the use of 'leur'.

Thank you for your help.

I am unclear why in the test question - Chacun a  .... faute, the correct answer is "son". Faute is a feminine noun so why isn't "sa" correct? 

Hi, I think I'm a bit confuse when comes to gender. I thought whenever for feminine, need to add -e. But, how come there is a gender for fruits. And when come to souris, how do I know the gender for the animal? 

How come, in the final sentence of this exercise, the past subjunctive is not used following "Rien que"?  Instead, it was the passé composé. 

Réponse: le

Please can you explain why the answer is not "y" because the normal expression is "penser à qqch" and therefore it would seem that the answer should effectively be "tout le monde pense à le" or, using s preposition,  "tout le monde y pense"?
