Merci d'avoir écrit cette histoire palpitant! Plus, svp!!
I do not understand why a 10 minutes de is wrong, and a 10 mins de is right. I have not yet seen the latter given as an example.
Pour moi , cet article est très intéressant. Je ne savais pas que Il y a 29 pays où le Français est soit parlé. Autre curiosité que j'ai trouvé ce que au Viet Nam était une colonie française et que cette langue est parlé dans les relations diplomatiques comment aux Comores. Ici en Colombie le Français a devenu une langue populaire entre les jeunes colombien.
The question: "I'll stay until you come back."
Answer: "Je resterai jusqu'à ce que tu reviennes."
I have given the correct answer 4 consecutive times but my answer is always recorded as: "Je resterai jusqu'à tu reviennes." This is NOT what I'm typing, but the answer repeated tells me that that's what I wrote and thus the question is repeated on every test!
What does "coup de venir" exactly mean?
Is there a rule that explains why it is « j’ai passé une demi-heure à gratter » and not « en grattant » ? I find it very tricky to know when to use à properly. « Une tasse à thé ». « C’est à moi de le faire ». I can memorize word situations that call for « à « but not a working rule I can rely on. Thanks.

Bonnes vacances
if there is a noun at the begining of the sentence we have two ways to ask a question ;
est-ce que henry a un sac?
henry a-t-il un sac
can we use the "a" at the begining of the question word?
for example A henry un sac or "ont les femmes des crayons? does it work?
I wish your helps
Thank you so much
I am confused as to which phrases are acceptable in current lingo. For examples, "bartoter dans le marché boursier" for dabble in the stock market. Is this completely wrong? If so, why?
Is "faire les classes" wrong for learn the ropes?
The dictionary that I looked at used "examiner" for review; others used "revoir"
Finally, I am mystified as to why "une hypothèque" is not given as an option for mortgage. This is a word I heard most often when I lived in France.
