Why is "Ben restera assis à ce bureau jusqu'à ce qu'il finisse ses devoirs." incorrect?
1. Because the sentence is grammatically incorrect?
2. Because it doesn't exactly translate the english sentence?
Is "Ben will sit at that desk until he finishes his homework." not correct and does "Ben restera assis à ce bureau jusqu'à ce qu'il finisse ses devoirs." not translate to that sentence?
How would you say "Ben will sit at that desk until after he's finished his homework." ?Ben restera assis à ce bureau jusqu'à ce qu'il ait fini ses devoirs.Ben restera assis à ce bureau jusqu'à ce qu'il finisse ses devoirs.Ben restera assis à ce bureau jusqu'à ce qu'il a fini ses devoirs.Ben restera assis à ce bureau jusqu'à ce qu'il finit ses devoirs.I wrote "où nous avons bu de bon vin" even though I thought I heard "où nous avons bu du bon vin".

Does that agree with your reasoning?

No mention is made in the lesson for verbs ending in uire (conduits, traduire, construire) that when conjugating the verb construire, the first R is dropped in nous constuisons and vous constuisez. Is it also dropped in ils/elles constuisent or does it stay as in construisent? Does this also apply for détruire?
The lesson says "j'ai mal, tu as mal" etc. In a test the question was to translate "Antoine's shoulders hurt". I wrote "Il a mal a les epaules" and it came up wrong, saying i should have written il fait mal a les epaules" (sorry it wouldn't let me put accents on)
Pourquoi dit-on 'j'habite Orléans" et non pas

In number 6, I submitted the phrase “pour fabriquer des” and it was corrected to “pour fabrique les,” but in the paragraph above it contradicts that correction. Which is right?
