In the sentence 'Savez-vous ce que c'est qu'une "irrizina" ?', what is that second 'que' before the 'une' ?

For 'Je me suis cassé la jambe' 

Why does it use suis and not J'ai, as its passe compose?

I used “en retard pour le travail”. I knew it was wrong but did not think of an alternative. Is there a Lawless lesson that can help me with this construction?

Thank you!

Thank you!

Hi. I'm wondering about the sentence Elles ne se sont pas rasees cette semaine./ They didin't shave this week.  You would normally associate shaving with men, not women as in your example.  Wouldn't it be  better to change the subject of the sentence to ILS ne sont pas rases cette semaine, and a week being a long time to go without shaving, the end could be 

ce  matin, not cette semaine. and you would get a nice sentence 

They (men) didn't shave this morning.

HI,

In this workbook I'm practicing in that I brought. I had to translate using inversion and vous if necessary. So the sentence was

When is she arriving in Nantes? I put Quand arrive -t-elle à Nantes but then their answer said I should've used à quelle heure.  

Why should I use à quelle heure instead of quand when the question is asking when?

Thanks

Why is so much of this in the subjunctive? I understand why 'il faut que' in the first sentence is followed by the subjunctive. But why is it used in the sentence starting 'nous recherchons'?

Hi, I just want to echo some of the sentiments and questions expressed below in that I find this lesson insufficient for helping me feel comfortable with the reasons that different verb tenses were used in the examples. Thanks for considering this feedback!

Why is à laquelle correct and à qui wrong in the above?

Après qu’ils sont arrivés, ils vont saluer ma mère.After they've arrived, they go and say hello to my mother.I think it would be after they have arrived they are going to say hello to my mother
