When I listen to the entire passage, I clearly hear the word elle in the last sentence.   When I listen to the last sentence as given in the exercise, I hear what sounds like 'on' instead of elle.  I don't have the best ears, but it is what I hear.

Est-ce que c'est necessaire pour repèter "dois" apres "dernière"?  C'est une structure parallel in cui la premiere "fois" est assume.  Comme en anglais:. It was the first time, but will probably be the last.  Sans "fois" encore.  Merci beaucoup.

English: I knew who was invited, but I didn't know the other details.

French: Je savais qui était invité, mais je ne connaissais pas les autres détails.

I got this wrong.  My thinking was that 'who' was a direct object and a person or persons, therefore connaître.   I would have used connaître in the second part, again détails is the direct object, but I was influenced by my error in the first use of 'to know '; hence I chose savoir.  Please explain why the first calls for savoir.   Thanks.

I thought I’d sorted this out already but evidently not. I believe that the answer I gave in the heading is, according to the lecture notes, correct. Correction welcome. So why was it marked wrong and the correct answer given as “je suis avec cinq minutes d’avance”? I’m fine with this answer too but why was my answer marked as incorrect?

In the translation of "Before I applied for my current position...", you used postuler.   Is "faire une demande de" not a possibility ?

While I did use "elle est aussi restée avec moi dimanche" could you use "elle m'est aussi restée dimanche" ?
