aller a pied???

I answered the question "Elle a manqué le bus, donc elle doit ________." as aller a pied, but this was scored as incorrect. But the lesson tells me to use this when walking is CONTRASTED WITH ANOTHER MEANS OF TRANSPORT, which it seems to me is exactly the case here!

What am I missing????

Liaison in the construction of the Conditionel Passe + aller

I listened to the video for this construction (the first video), and it sounds to me like the speaker uses liaison for every person except the 2nd person singular (tu serais aller). Do you know what rule he is following, if there is one? I have to admit, it sounds better to NOT use liaison in that particular case.

Articles in front of food nouns

After eighteen months of study I still can't really understand this. 'Les Français mangeaient les escargots' seems to be ok as an alternative to 'des escargots'. But 'Tout ce qui ressemble à la viande rouge' as an alternative to 'de la viande rouge' is not. To me it's the same kind of statement; and to have to say 'ressemble à de la viande rouge' sounds like 'resembles some red meat'...

Punctuation query

The sentence to be translated: I can listen to them for hours!

I wrote: Je peux les écouter pendant des heures !

The exclamation mark was marked as incorrect even though it was called for in the original sentence.

Can I stop learning the simple passe

I am finding it too difficult to learn the passé simple and the subjunctive at the same time. Can I drop the passé simple for the time being?
