I am confused. I know Un is used with masculine nouns and Une is with feminine nouns. But when I looked at the examples of these two:
Un exemple
Une aventure
They both use the English An, but in French, both nouns are feminine, ending in E. So, why use the masculine form of Un with Exemple???
Can you tell me why it's "avoir à passer du temps" rather than "avoir passer du temps"? From the lessons I would think the version without "à" would express "having to spend".
Also, in the last phrase it is difficult to understand whether they wanted a phrase to describe that he would become a person who translates any language instantly or he would instantly become a universal translator. Are those two things written differently?
In the passage, "... où vous profiterez de paysages naturels magnifiques", how does one know if we are referring to one paysage or multiple paysages? If I am in a castle, I think I would be looking at one paysage around the castle.
What is the significance of the numbers (a date?) at the end?
Maybe Vous haïssez la médiocrité as well

1. Can I use "empirer" instead of exacerber or aggraver in the sentence "ce qui ne faisant qu'exacerber les problèmes ..."?
2. Why do we use faire ... instead of the word itself?
Dear sir/madam
Where I can go letters practice in kwiziq is there are not please help this letters if you know that.
What is wrong with in question 4 answering "seulement" - it sound perfectly idiomatic.
Is the best way to understand this construction in the context of this lesson to think of the sentence in English as "If Joseph could come, it would be great"? An example of this reversed structure would be good in the lesson.
