Why is reposer used in the final sentence as a translation of leaving the tart to set? Doesn't reposer just imply leave it to rest (in the fridge) with no mention of setting?,

Could you help me find a reference to understanding the use of prepositions before infinitives (I understand prepositions after).

Also, I read the question as 'after months of wearing', but can à be used for the preposition 'of'?

Bonjour. Je voudrais savoir pourquoi, spécialmente dans le journaux, de temps en temps il y a en la troisieme personne singuliere ce construction (existe-t-il, a-t-il...). 

"à plusieurs reprises" was not permitted for "several times", is it an incorrect answer in this context ?

Thanks

Paul.

In the sentence, "Chaque après-midi, dès que la cloche sonnait la fin de l'école, je courais jusqu'à la devanture alléchante de la mercerie Arnaud qui regorgeait de bobines de fil coloré, de boutons enchanteurs et autres tissus à motifs, tous plus attrayants les uns que les autres.", there appear to be a series of nouns associated with the verb, regorger de.  We have de bobines, de boutons, but tissus (not de tissus).  Why isn't it d'autres tissus to follow the pattern ?

I hear sept heures moins quart, not sept heures moins le quart. Which is it?

James asked this question a year ago but no answer. I also used rafales for gusts having never encountered bourrasques before.

Hello!

I tried a different way of writing the final sentence, and it wasn't accepted by the exercise engine:

"que l'on peut aujourd'hui savourer le champage aux fines bulles qui se connaît dans le monde entier."

I tried this because the English text specified "[that is]" and I thought it was prompting use of "qui" -- is this grammatically in correct?
