I kept getting corrected for using a capital letter after the "-" at the start of a line of dialogue. But it was frustratingly inconsistent—later I would get corrected for not using one. And the final text is displayed with capital letters in all cases. What's going on/what's the rule?
Mets les verbes entre parentheses au futur proche
Nous (diner).....................chez vous
Ils(aller) ................au cinema
Vous ( visit) ...............ma mere
Does anyone have any recommendations of how to get a full on immersive french experience in France? I am trying to get ready for DALF C1 exam and want to improve fluency quickly. I am looking for 2–3 weeks in France ideally with 3-4hours of structured learning. Ideally staying with someone who speaks only french. Institute Francais seems to have something but it is very expensive and probably too intense.

At the beginning of the second sentence the word "BASTIEN" is in the text, but it is not in the audio. All of the other sentences have the characters' name in both the text & the audio.
The sentence to be translated :
There are also many options to explore Nantes…….
The correct answer is given as:
Il y a de nombreuses options pour explorer Nantes….
There is no translation of also and my use of aussi was crossed out as incorrect.
I cannot see this type of structure in the exercise examples…
Like…HÉ WILL HAVE BEEN EATING ALL DAY
Il ________ le contraire pendant quinze ans. He will have been claiming the contrary for fifteen years.(HINT: Conjugate "prétendre" (to claim) in Le Futur Antérieur)
1. My dictionary suggested "roman d'amour" for romance novel, but the accepted answers only included "roman à l'eau de rose," "roman sentimental," etc. Is there a difference?
2. I used "réussite" instead of "succès" just because it seemed to be repeated too often, but it seems like it wasn't an accepted answers some of the time; is there a difference between the two?
With dans, am I physically in the place? I’m trying to understand, clearly the difference between en & dans. Thank you.
