Writing Challenge Week 57, level A1. I'm learning to play the piano.The sentence is 'I am learning to play the piano.' The correct answer is "J'apprends à jouer du piano." Does the à go with the apprendre or with jouer? What is the link to the appropriate lesson? Thank you - I'm stumped! Terri

Please explain using des/de in "on saura qu’il y a des reines autant qu’il y a de femmes"In the phrase "on saura qu’il y a des reines autant qu’il y a de femmes", why do we say "des reines", but "de femmes" (why not "des femmes")?

with plurals, de becomes des.....Why isn't it "Nous ne faisons pas partie DES amis" as "ses amis" is plural? But then I guess that would apply to "de les amis", so what's going on here?

Follow up question

For some reason I can't reply to a specific response, so I'll have to post this as a seperate comment.

This is a follow up question to Laura's translation of "She ought to really stop seeing him", which she wrote as "Elle devrait vraiment arreter de le voir." I'm wondering if the phrase "Elle devrait vraiment s'arreter de le voir" is also acceptable.
