What is the negation of c’est vrai monsieur
I'm not sure why but in this lesson, the examples I see are all in English. There is no French translation. Anyone else had this problem? I have seen it once or twice before.
Est-ce plus correct à dire "Elle s'est rasé les jambes, elle les a lavées aussi" ou "Elle s'est rasé les jambes, elle les est lavées aussi"?

I don't understand the construction of " j'avais des démangeaisons ". What is the role of "des"? It looks like a preposition between an auxiliary verb and a main verb. Or is "démangeaisons " a noun? It certainly looks like a verb. Thanks for any help.
I know this exercise is about numbers, but i do not understand the following examples:
Why does 'lui' translate as 'her' in both these examples? I thought 'lui' when used like this refers to him, and that 'elle' would be her?
Thanks
Pourquoi est-ce qu'on écrit "ma sœur ou moi allumions une bougie à tour de rôle" C'est seulement une des sœurs qui fait la tâche.. donc , logiquement "allumer" serait au singulier???????
This point has been already raised in an answer to a previous question but has not received any attention. So would like to pick it up again.
I have two grammar books containing examples with "dont" and numbers which do not state this requirement for "qui". For brevity I will just cite one of them:
"Grammaire Progressive du Français B1 B2", 2019, p.116:
"Ils ont trois grands enfants dont deux sont médecins."
So my assumption is that "qui" is not required, if the "number" is the subject of the next sentence.
Hello,
I know the right answer is A. But is it supposed to be ´ Il a fait exprès de ne rendre pas la monnaie.’ ? Instead of ´ Il a fait exprès de NE PAS rendre la monnaie.´
Thanks.
