why are we using des with six ( chacun des six chateaux)  as six is the defined number

Why wouldn’t you use “ ils balaieront/balayeront le sol avant nous venions “  in lieu of “avant nous ne venions “ ? I’m confused about the “ne” negation. What’s its purpose?

In the test question: "Suzanne aime les vêtements [INSERT]", the correct answer is "orange". My question is: wouldn't the color orange agree with the noun ("les vêtements") which is plural? Why is the correct answer "orange" and not, as one might assume, "oranges"?

I don't understand why this sentence could have is avait pu, where in no. 4 the answer is aurait pu, both meaning "could have"

I click on the words and what pops is a strange “mathematical equation”, par example, “nous=709 nous=715 touche = 401…”. Pourquoi?

Should you say il est derrière la maison or il est en arrière de la maison or il est arrière la maison.

Which is NOT correct?

Ce qu'il dit est difficile à comprendre

Ce que nous faisons est presque impossible

Ce qui est arrivé est incroyable

Ce qui elle demande n'est pas raisonnable -- Correct Answer

I don't understand why this is incorrect.

I'm reading https://www.lawlessfrench.com/grammar/plus/, and there's either an error or an ambiguity.  In the sections of plus used as a comparative or superlative adverb, it mentions liaising, but in the section for its use as a negative adverb, it says "In negative constructions, plus is always pronounced [ply]", with no mention of liaisons, which to me means that you should never liaise in the negative.  It gives the example of "Il n’est plus en France", which based on that rule, would mean you neither pronounce the S nor liaise it to "en".  I asked about that example on reddit, and several native French speakers said that liaising was optional, with some saying it depends whether formal or informal.  So, which is it?

Is there a way to review all my answers at the end of the exercise? To see an overall comparison of what I wrote vs what the answers are.

“au-dessus de l’assiette “. When I read this I picture the cutlery floating over the plate. “Dessus de l’assiette” I can imagine the cutlery sitting above the plate. Pouvez-vous m’expliquer pourquoi on utilise au-dessus vs dessus dans cette phrase.
