Hello, i am struggling to understand this construction: ces drôles de choses; ces drôles d'objets. Can anyone help with the grammar reasoning behind it or the link to a lesson on this?

Merci.

The vocab list for Vive les legumes has pumpkin as une citrouille, yet it was marked incorrect with les potirons as the correct answer. Where did I go wrong? Thank you

Could you also say “Ma mère devrait arriver bientôt” instead of “ma mère…d’ici peu”

Even google nor Deepl could translate it correct, so I had no chance!

Hello, can you explain more of the difference between "revenir" and "retourner"? I was using "Je revenais à Toulouse" and "Je retournais avec une valise" but it appears to be the opposite. Thank you. 

how does this 'nous est arrivé' come together to mean "happening to us"?

I don't think its necessary to keep rating myself , tbh I could give myself a smiley face but it makes no difference to learning french !

is, for example, j'habite (or j'hésite) spelt like that even in written texts? If so why?

Sorry, it’s late and I’m trying to get my head around the sentence structure: does it mean -  "The cows, whose babies the farmers feed, rest etc?"

 Is it unusual for "dont" to refer to the distant object of the subordinate clause like this? (Apologies if this is a spoiler for the micro kwiz just above!)
