In the conditional phrase in the second sentence, we have "...si je ne voulais pas être père...". I have terrible hearing, but I thought I heard d'être père. I know that vouloir does not take a preposition to introduce an infinitive, so I was dubious. I certainly did not hear an elision of the 's' of pas with être. Are my ears deceiving me?

can't determine what the subject of the lesson is suppose to be

I don't understand. I'm given a lesson on pronouns but then most of the test is on conjugation of verbs I have not heard of before.

accompagnée/accompagnées - resurrecting this topic ;)Les odeurs envoûtantes qui émanaient de ce coin de paradis… …m'ont accompagnée tout au long de ma vie, telle la madeleine de Proust. ———- Should “accompagnée” be “accompagnées”. The passé composé (avoir, with object before the verb) past participle should agree with the object. It does partially (in gender), but not with respect to singular/plural.

Quel Mot?

Quelle est la différence entre les mots "shooter" and "shot" ? Les deux options ont été présentées dans les réponses. L’un est-il utilisé avec des noms et l’autre avec des verbes ? ("Shooter" was given as an option when using "pour la digestion" [what I used] and "shot" when using "digérer").

Missing p sound

Hi, I feel that the “p” sound is completely missing from “pour” in “pour l'infaillible soutien que vous nous avez montré ces dix derniers mois.”.

Is it missing? If so, is this an audio file error, or a genuine French way of speaking at the C1 level?
