I don't mark myself down for punctuation, but of course I still want to get it right. And I have a terrible tendency to use capital letters for roads etc the english way - i.e. "Rue de Quelque chose", "Place Quelque Chose" only to find that it should be "rue de Quelque Chose", "place Quelque chose" etc.
So I was expecting "le château de Versailles". Mais non !
Is there any logic in this, or is it basically something that a native speaker just knows intuitively ?
I've been reading through the lesson and discussion comments to try to understand some of the subtle differences.
In English, if I go to a bakery and ask for "half a baguette", I'm asking them to take a full-size baguette and cut it in half. If I want a small but uncut baguette, I'd have to ask for "a half-size baguette" or a "mini-baguette".
I think the comments are saying that in French, "une demi-baguette" can mean either an uncut half-size baguette or half of a full-size baguette. Is that correct?

I realise that the euphonic "l" in "que l’on" and the ne explétif aren’t always used in spoken French. In the extract, is there a logic to adding l’ before "on mette" but not "on laisse"? And for using a ne explétif after avant que but not after douter que?
Is the second qui actually a relative pronoun, and if so, would it be an idea to link this to relative pronoun lesson(s)?
Have you made good friends? Why is this reflexive? Google translates it as: "As-tu fait de bons amis"---comme moi.
I was wondering if the verb s'inscrire could be used in the context of joining a club. Where I live, you enroll as a member. Here is the text: I joined a handball club three months ago,...
Please tell me why "En fait" is not accepted in the translation of ”In fact, I practise [US: practice] a lot of different sports”. Thanks.
