Just wondering why convenir is conjugated with vous as 'vous convient'.  Shouldn't it be vous convenez?  Please clarify.  Merci!

Is it possible to remove certain lessons from my study plan? I'm not particularly interested in learning the passé simple but I get quizzed on that repeatedly.

Regarding the section "Case of 'à la maison' vs. 'chez moi' ": Would it be correct to use "à la maison" to refer to second and third person subjects when returning to their own homes, e.g. "Elle rentre à la maison" for "She is going back home", or "Tu rentres à la maison" for "You are going back home", etc.?

(The example given for "à la maison" used the first person (je) only and the next section describes subjects going to other people's homes, and not their own). 

Merci en avance! 

What is the rule for using "au-dessous/dessus de" rather than "sous/sur"?

There is a plural and singular form of our here; "Notre" and "Nos". How is there a singular our if our is already plural?

My questions are about the sentence, "Et puis, une mère n'est pas uniquement celle qui t'a donné la vie.": Why is 'te' used here instead of 's'a', 'l'a' or some other construction, since it seems to be some kind of generalisation? And also, if 't'a' is used and the speaker is talking to another woman, why doesn't 'donné' agree in 'donnée'?

Salut, ca sera utile d'avoir plus de questions dans le mini-test au bout de la page. En ce moment il y en a deux - mais le lecon s'agit? de plusiers facons d'utiliser rappeler. Rappeler - c'est un casse tete. Desolée - pas de clavier francais. 

In the Note Bene in today's newsletter, you refer to communication preferences.   Where is that?

Cette exercise et l’exercice de B2 cette semaine (‘Se réconcilier avec un ami’) ce sont très interessantes avec la vocabulaire et des phrases très utiles ! Leurs sujets rendent le travail difficile de les faire amusant. Bon travail ! Merci !
