In "M. Dupont et Mme Vichy vont au bureau." above, it sounds like M. is just being pronounced as the letter M and not as monsieur but Mme is pronounced as madame. Is that really how this would be said aloud? Also, is it correct that the M. has a period to denote abbreviation but the Mme does not? Is there a rule to help explain this?

I don't understand what the difference between durant and pendant are. The lesson puts them together and doesn't say if there is a difference.

Hello,

When I took the test it said I got the answer wrong when I said it was Léon. How come the answer is either of them when the professeur is masculine?

Thank you

Nicole

Cannot "même si" be equally followed l'imparfait del'ndicatif as in:

Même s'il me le disait, je ne le croirais pas.

Without being specific, would one say “j’ai une chienne” or “j’ai un chien” when the dog in question is female?
