Why is the "best answer" given as suer but the final para uses transpirer?

Is there a rule as to whether à or de follows a verb?

Can you use d'ici in the past? For example, can I say: "La semaine dernière j'ai beaucoup travaillé, a tel point que d'ici vendredi j'étais crevée."?

I found the phrases and vocabulary used in this activity to be extremely difficult! I didn't feel ready for this level of translation at all. There is often quite a disparity between the level of language used in the Study Plan lessons (very simple) versus these dictation activities (much more complex). I would love to have more learning in the Study Plan that would support this level of language complexity. 

I’m still struggling with the issue Adrienne raised. I get the “correct answer” but the Gruff says that it’s the option with only two que can only be used without a specific noun. But the example in the lesson clearly says Qu’est-ce que c’est un stylo is acceptable. I also got marked wrong on the baguette question.

Hi. When practising the use of 'que', one of your examples runs 'Les fleurs que Paul sent.' and the translation is The flowers that/which Paul smells. As the present tense in English denotes habitual or regular doings, the present tense here implies that Paul smells them every day or often, which sounds a bit odd. I think the progressive form' is smelling' would give the correct meaning of ' Paul sent'.

Thanks
