How do I take a quiz on relative pronouns?

Le mot « marin » dans cette dictée sonnait comme « mar ». 

I am not sure why the subjunctive is used here.  I understand that trouver takes indicative in the affirmative, but subjunctive if negative.  Here it is affirmative, so presumably the word étrange is causing the change in tense.  Perhaps because étrange has a negative connotation, or perhaps simply because it is an adjective, as in être étrange que ..

My answer to a question in the quiz wasn't in the dropdown. Please could you explain why the phrase My little boy is in kindergarten uses 'en' instead of mon petit garçon est à l'école maternelle? Thank you.

I think in the second section of this lesson which is great on its own, more auxiliary être verbs could've been used besides aller.

Why do you need ‘Comment’ when Savoir means to know how to do something?

Hi Cécile , I wish to make a suggestion concerning the translation to English of two sentences in the examples and resources section. I suggest that you add THAT , to illustrate the difference in the usage of que between French and English ( in English we drop but not in French). So I suggest that the English translation for the French sentence il ne croit pas que nous lui voulions du mal becomes; he doesn’t believe THAT we want to hurt him, and the second sentence to change is: je doute qu’ils veuillent venir becomes I doubt THAT they will come.  A suggestion to highlight the difference. Especially that in the last sentence you have used that in the translation. Thank you.
