I have the same Error of @estebandlp.

Change:
<div class="lesson-form-row" [formGroup]="lessonForm">
to
<div class="lesson-form-row" [formGroupName]="i">

i have an error while trying the lessons.push(), which of the lessons are u referring to, the function or the form element, i gave my function a different name from the form element so im getting a not defined error

For me the error disappears by casting the lessonsForm to FormGroup. To do this I created a method to do the casting and used it in the template.

In the template: <div class="lesson-form-row" [formGroup]="toFormGroup(lessonForm)">

In the class: toFormGroup = (form: AbstractControl) => form as FormGroup;

I am wondering the same

The error Type 'AbstractControl<any, any>' is missing the following properties from type 'FormGroup<any>' happens when you have in tsconfig.json:

  "angularCompilerOptions": {
    "strictTemplates": true
  },

Solution with pipe (I couldn't manage to make it work with generic pipe like in https://stackoverflow.com/a/69466380/588759):

import { Pipe, PipeTransform } from '@angular/core';
import { AbstractControl, FormGroup } from '@angular/forms';

/**
 * https://stackoverflow.com/a/72517767/588759
 * https://stackoverflow.com/a/67059770/588759
 */

@Pipe({
  name: 'formGroup',
})
export class FormGroupPipe implements PipeTransform {
  transform(value: AbstractControl): FormGroup<(typeof value)['value']> {
    return value as FormGroup<(typeof value)['value']>;
  }
}

and use as [formGroup]="lessonForm | formGroup"
