Why LE instead of DE in Manquer deThe correct answer is posted as “

J'ai manqué le concert de Michael Jackson en 1992 à Paris.” But the lesson says you don’t need partitive pronoun when meaning lack/missing something but you need DE. So why is it “J’ai manqué le concert’ not “J’ai manqué de concert”? Thanks.

Tu es enfin debout/ Tu es enfin levé

An alternative given for "You finally got up" was "Tu es enfin levé". I thought it would be "tu t'es enfin levé" (as the reflexive verbe is "se lever"). Just wondering if this was a typo, or am I missing something? Thanks.

est sorti v. était sorti

The film was released in 2002 = Le film est sorti en 2002. Classic passé composé. But I'm trying to understand the usage of plus que parfait. What does it mean if you say "Le film était sorti en 2002?"' Is that the film had been released?

Le siècle ________ la bombe H et les antibiotiques ont été inventés est le XXème siècle.

I had written 'dans lequel', but received a wrong answer.

In reading the lesson, it stated that after a noun 'dans lequel/le' can be used instead of 'où'.

Why is 'où' the only answer here?

thank you. Jennifer
