In the first phrase, "Quand je gagnerai au loto", could remporterai be used instead of gagnerai? Don't both these verbs mean to win.

I constantly make errors when a infinitive follows another verb.  Sometimes the preposition 'de' introduces the infinitive as in "...decide de couper... " in the above exercise.   Sometimes the preposition  'à' intervenes as in "intéresser à".  Then there are verbs which take no preposition, for example "aller".  Finally, we have an example using the preposition pour, as in "...insisted pour payer..." in the exercise.  My question is "Are there patterns for these verbs or is it a matter of just learning by rote or just by listening to hundreds of conversations to remember the usage?" Thanks so much for your consideration. 

The audio example for « il geint » doesn’t sound like the other -eint verbs (eg il peint), it’s more like "jean". Does the initial g alter the pronunciation?

hi im new here i just want to say hi

In the quiz there's a sentence that reads:

Christophe finissait son déjeuner quand les autres sont arrivés. 

The English translation says

Christopher was finishing his breakfast when the others arrived. 

The quiz says déjeuner not petit-déjeuner. 

Après _être rentrée_chez elle, Martine a fait une sieste.

After going back home, Martine had a nap

Elles rentrent après que le bus les a déposées.

''They go home after the bus has dropped them off.'' ?

Why does one sentence require ‘chez elle’ and the other not?

Coucou!

I dont understand the recorded pronunciation in this phrase : Les plantes produisent l’oxygène. Why is the “ent” silent in produisent?  And why is the “l” silent in l’oxygène?

Merci pour votre aide 

 "Papaoutai" = "Papa où t'es"?

Une mère dit a son fils "Qu'est-ce qui t’intéresse beaucoup?"

Une mère dit a son fils ce qui l’intéresse beaucoup   or  Une mère dit a son fils ce qui lui intéresse beaucoup. 

Please clarify.  TIA.
