closed from 2 to 4 always should be du au

closed from 2 to4 this week should be de a

accents not working here?

There is no clue given across these 2 sentences to indicate that the 2nd sentence is a general statement, rather than referring to 'being in my garden'. Understood as the latter, couldn't "Je l'ai trouvé toujours magique" also be a correct translation ? 

What is the English translation for “histoire d’en profiter au maximum tant que ça dure.”

Merci

Would it be possible in the questions to give clues as to whether places are regions, cities, etc.? My French and British geography knowledge isn't that great. I could certainly Google whether places are cities or regions, but as the point of these kwizzes is to determine whether I know the proper preposition to use (and not to test my knowledge of geography), clues would be very helpful! This would be useful for all questions associated with prepositions before named places, not just this lesson. On the plus side, if there were clues as to the type a place is (region, city, etc.), I would gradually learn geography by proxy! Thanks!

Hi! 

For "Je me fais appeler" what does the "fais" mean? What are you doing/making to your name??

Thanks :)

Could someone explain the function/meaning of “droit aux”, in contrast to the simpler “les” that presumably could have been used? From “qui a eu droit aux fameuses nausées matinales.”. Thanks

In example question 1 of this lesson, you say: "Croyez-vous qu’il arrive bientôt ? Oui, ... crois." (Do you believe he'll get there soon? Yes, I believe so.)

Doesn't "Croyez-vous qu’il arrive bientôt?" mean "Do you think it's coming soon?".

Shouldn't it be "Croyez-vous qu'il y arrivera bientôt?"

is there a list of verbs that do or do not take the ne expletif

Hi

I have a few questions regarding this exercise:

1. The phrase 'je me suis sentie méprisée' - I was a little confused about whether to make 'senti' or 'méprisé' agree with the female speaker.  In fact I got it wrong, as I see that both should agree.  Could you explain the rule, or do you have a lesson I could look at for this?

2. what is the meaning of 'de l'instrumentalisation du vote barrage'?

3. what is the meaning of 'voter blanc'?  I have a good idea but would be very interested to hear an explanation.

Thankyou once again, dudes of Lawless French for an interesting dictée, with some good new vocab.
