When she is assembling the plane she says 'venir' in every step. It doesn't seem to change the meaning of the sentence so is it just a language tic? If not, what does it do?

Ex. Nous allons venir assembler notre avion

On va venir prendre le deuxième baton jaune

On viendra l'appliquer à l'arrière

Could anybody help me with the form of the word: 'cochant'?

I have learned third person plural conjugation is cochent, but this word 'cochant' I couldn't find in a dictionary. 

As you know, cocher is infinitive form of verb but what about cochant? Please!

The original context: "Répondez aux questions en cochant la ou less bonne response."

Please help me!

I was marked wrong for typing the latter response. Is this because the subject (nous) does not change? Therefore the second part of the sentence must remain in the infinitive?

Could one also use « la facture «  as well as « la note »?

Why is does this sentence begin in passe compose when most of the story has been in the imparfait? "J'ai même commencé à prétendre que nous n'étions pas disponibles." 

Can we say aux agents de bord instead of avec les agents de bord?

The Kwiz linked to this lesson had the question:  "Ce jour-là, Marie découvrit la vérité"

It seems a bit illogical to class découvrir as a regular -ir verb, because it isn’t one in the present (even if it behaves as such in the passé simple).

Hi -

I was  trying to work out how you would say 'if the weather is good, we can take a walk in the park'. From the above it looks I can either use Se Promener or Faire une Promenade, but im not sure how to combine these with Pouvoir. I assume using 'Faire' it would be:

-s'il fait beau, nous pouvons faire une promenade dans le parc.

1) Is this correct?

2) Is there a way of saying this using the reflexive verb/conjugation with se promoner?

Thank you :) 

As I understand it, dans can also be used when the sentence implies a future action but not duration?
