The lessons says to use either. Where is the explanation/lesson details? 

"Depuis que Catherine a changé de carrière il y a quatre ans, plus personne ne la reconnaît."  I understand this to mean "Ever since Catherine changed her career four years ago, no one recognizes her anymore."  I would never have known where to put that "plus!"  I might have thought "personne ne la reconnait plus."  Would that have been wrong if I had been constructing the sentence instead of doing it as a dictation?

And a couple of little periods have been inserted in the vocabulary section at the beginning: eg. te.lle.  I like to look at this section as the whole piece is being read to me and I noticed these tiny typos.

would 'j'ai achete pour ma mere un weekend' be correct ? ( cant do the accents )

For "And I've worked in the same town...", I put "J'ai travaillé dans the la même ville..." but the correct answer is given as "Et je travaille dans la même ville...".

Why is the present conjugation of travailler used instead of the compound tense?

Ils vont visiter 'la tour Eiffel' ce matin.

Would it be replaced by a direct object or y

They will visit it = la or they will visit there = y

Ils vont la visiter or ils vont y visiter.

How do you determine which conjugated form of the verb do you use in sentences such as "Jean et moi sommes allés au cinéma.".  It appears the conjugated form of the verb with nous has been used. I cannot understand why this is.

Hello,

I hear a rhotic r sound in majestueuse. Is this a regional difference in accent?

Thank you

There are a lot of interesting tense changes to consider in this exercise! But why do we hop back into the present tense here:

“until she gave birth to her daughter Claude”

“jusqu'à ce qu'elle accouche de sa fille Claude”

“jusqu'à ce qu'elle donne naissance à sa fille Claude”
