sur la façade duquel on peut lire...

on dit 'duquel', même si 'façade' est un mot feminine ? 

In one of the answers to a question in the corresponding lesson regarding articles for countries, Cécile advises that Israel and some random island countries like Malta, Cyprus, Haiti and Cuba do NOT take an article (le, la, les or l’). From the above exercise it appears that Monaco is also included on this small list of countries without a gender. Just out of interest, does anyone know why Monaco doesn’t have one? I wondered if it was because it’s just an abbreviation of la Principauté de Monaco? (But then again, the names of most countries are abbreviations of their official names, so that doesn’t help us to decide whether to add an article, and maybe it’s just something we have to learn individually for each country)

I got the sentence “Nous n’avons pas eu....” wrong because I translated it as “We never had...”

Quiz Question: 

Nous avons couru aussi vite que avons pu ! (We ran as fast as we could!) 

Why is there no "nous" subject pronoun following que? 

It cuts out just after one minute and a few seconds - I was just getting into it too

Why is amener included in this example: Nous aménerons/amènerons Louise avec nous.

When is amener conjugated with anything other than an accent grave?

How can I use ni...ni to make this sentence negative: 'L'eleve a compris et a appris'?

Does it become 'l'eleve n'a ni compris ni appris'?

Thanks for any help

Ce sont quoi les collégiales et les maisons consulaires?

In the four Texas examples above we have “Etats-Unis”. Should these all be “États-Unis”?
