Hi Dear Folk,

Do you how to say, "the very benefits"  in French?

Of the bellow translation, which is the appopriate translation of "According to the 2017 State of American Vacation study"?

Selon l’étude sur l’état des vacances aux États-Unis de 2017 or Selon l'étude menée en 2017 sur l'état des vacances en Amérique.

Both quiz questions are affirmative statements using verbs that do not use the subjunctive in the affirmative.

Thus, the answers do not use the subjunctive.

But the lesson is about using these verbs in the subjunctive in negative statements.

Francois 1er protegea Leonard de Vinci

The word  protegea is non existent in any dictionary. Could it be:

protege a? I don't have french accents on my computer. Sorry.

Please, take a look at: https://drive.google.com/open?id=1lI653IW5Fi5WAXudqCZOppaZEf_H1-2N

In one of the examples in the lesson, the sentence "Il faut toujours aider plus petit que soi" translates as "One must always help those smaller than oneself".  Where do you get the word "those" from?  Shouldn't there be another word between "aider" and "plus"?  Like "les personnes" or something?
