Why is italienne not capitalized in the phrase "de la Renaissance italienne?" Also, why is the article "le" not used in the first mention "de Florence en Italie", but is used in "ses carnets duvoyage sure l'Italie" ? Has "medicine" gone out of usage for the designation of medical doctor and has "docteur" supplanted it? "Docteur" is applicable to non-physicians (e.g., those with PhD's) and is there another designation for them? Thanks.
Contrary to previous comments below in response to Dragana and Danica - this line can indeed translate as I am looking forward to the 31st (ie New Year's Eve in this case), which fits exactly the context of this story. It is not the expression "d'étre sur son 31" which would translate as '(to be) dressed up to the nines'
se laver; se lever; se réveiller; s'amuser etc.
these words doesn't have anything special, do they?

Hi,
In this lesson, we use Elle est à New York to say She is in New York
But in another lesson, we use J'habite dans le New Jersey to say I live in New Jersey
Now I am a bit confused about the use of dans le and à with cities. Help!
Why une brosse a dents and not aux because dents is plural?
I'm wondering if A2 exercises will also incorporate A1 lessons or if everything is self contained? I skipped a lot of A1 exercises because I was about 40% into A2 prior to starting and wanted to finish the level.
Will I have to go back and complete A1 exercises in order to test myself of that criteria, or would it be included in A2 exercises? I just don't want to forget some random A1 lesson because I never see it again, especially as I start moving into higher levels.
Is it the same as in sports where if you do it in general its faire but if you're doing it in the moment it's jouer?
There were several alternate answers to 'I was taking an exam this morning' and they all used the word 'un exam' But in the full text presented at the end, it became 'un examen'. I have noticed this sort of disagreement every once in a while.
Thanks, Jack
