 je dois dire que les chats de Cécile sont exceptionnellement beaux.  

Peut-on utilise "Dès lors" dans la phrase "D'ici là, je devrais être prêt pour une longue sieste"

et pour j'ai décidé de prendre la situation en main

on peut écrire "j'ai décidé de maîtriser la situation ?

Merci

For "breast" in breast of duck, the exercise uses "magret". Can you explain why? LaRousse defines  "magret" as "Fillet of duck fattened for the production of foie gras.", which does not seem to be the same thing, as clearly not all ducks are forced fed to make foie gras; and clearly it would be redundant to say «de canard»

I used blanc, which seems a lot closer: «Partie charnue d'une volaille qui tient à la carcasse.» but is not accepted.

I see that this is a reversed question- but what is the reversal? Tu penses en quoi? 

Why not faire...

Hi, has “ Je vais suivre tes conseils, merci.” been imported from a different exercise incorrectly? It doesn’t seem to belong there at all. Brian

Taking Maarten’s sentence as a starting point “When 'on' can be replaced by the specific subject pronoun 'nous', adjectives agree with number and are therefore plural (only the past participle/adjective, not the auxiliary verb conjugation).”

My question is, assuming that we have decided to indeed follow the agreement rule, if the specific group that “on” refers to were all female, would the sentence then be “On était éberluées”? I.e. does the gender get reflected in the adjective in the same way that it would if we used “nous” and the group were all female (“nous étions éberluées”).

What is a pronoun, i cant see it here?

I was a little confused, as it suggested using the simple past tense, but also uses the past historic...something I need to make sure I understand in terms of the context!
