Why Couldn't we tell Dans l' Yorkshire ?  '' 'Y'is a semi vowel right ?

Bonjour Madame Aurélie,

While doing a test named “Conte de fées” I landed up at a mysterious sentence -

Le père était àgé et sortirait rarement de son lit, alors sa fille devait s’occuper du jardin et des animaux.

Here I would like to ask you why a dû was marked incorrect although the English translation specifies ‘so his daughter had to take care of the garden .....’ . I read your lesson which states that one uses Passé Composé for an obligation that was very well met. And here too is the same case.

The link to the test -

Please help me to figure out the correct option as I am not very clear with this concept.

Merci d’avance ! 

Bonne journée!

When I took French in school I remember there being a confusion with leur and leurs around sentences such as "the men went to their cars" where there was a difference between each man going to his own individual car versus the cars being collectively owned by the group of men.

Does anyone know what I'm talking about? Or is it just "les hommes sont allés à leurs voitures" for both?

how do I get other stories.  I lost the one about the father who reassures his son about the monster under the bed.

Maybe it's just my Chrome browser, but I can't scroll to view the full table of words at the very end of the lesson

Bonjour à tous et à toutes: 

J'aimerais savoir pourquoi on a utilisé le "de" devant le mot vie au lieu du mot "ma" dans la phrase ci-dessus.  Merci d'm'avoir aidé.  Don

Monsieur Dupont, vous vous êtes trompé.

Why do you use être here instead of avoir. Shouldn't it be 'avez'?

"Excellent" was shown before and after the "journée" in the corrected answers.

"Délicieuse" was before"bûche."

Please explain this placement.
