Bonjour. Don’t know if links are OK, but on this page it says that l’automne is less frequent than l’été or l’hiver. Is this true or is l’automne just as common? See point 3 at this link.

The end of the passage states, "d'ici trois jours ouvrables" or "dans", but the English phrase to translate is "within" so should en not be used instead of dans? En being within and dans being similar to after ex number of days.
Second sentence, 'dormi' sounds like 'dorni' - that is, no 'm' sound. Third sentence, 'et il a' sounds like 'et la' - that is, no 'il' sound.
I'm confused why the response given is : "nous allons aussi nous inscrire à la gym." Shouldn't it be "nous allons aussi nous inscrirer à la gym" with an infinitive in the same way that the alternative choice is "nous allons aussi nous abonner à la gym"?
I don't understand why déchiffrer is in the "vous" form here. Surely after "arrivez à" it should be in the infinitive ? Or does "Arriver à" behave differently from most verbs with à after them ?
Is this an error? Or is "se maria" an actual phrase. I thought it should be "se marie".
I'm also wondering why it is not "s'est mariée". That's the phrase I would have used.
I am seeing progress on these B2 listening exercises now that I keep an eye on the vocabulary list while listening to the entire passage read aloud several times. (Also, it is helping me to repeat the phrase aloud before starting to type it.) I'd like to suggest you include "lame" and "le manche" in this vocabulary list because they are also words of a somewhat specialized nature.
is 'Titanic a été sorti en 1998' a possible correct answer?
If not, why not?
If so, what's the difference (compared with the correct answer given: Titanic est sorti en 1998)?

Surely it is le mien? Please explain
The correct answer is "de crainte que tu ne sois."Why do we use the present subjunctive instead of theimparfait subjunctive or past subjunctive?
"They didn't go to the party for fear that you would be there."In English, I typically hear "out of fear" vs. "for fear."
Why do we pair le passé composé with the present subjunctive?The past action or inaction was in the past and the fear (of you) wasin the past. I submitted "fusses," but that was incorrect. I assumethat "aies été" was incorrect as well.
Is there a time period where you typically use imparfait (more thana day? or a week?) vs. passé composé with être?
