Is there any way of speeding up the audio to something more akin to proper speech?

During a Quiz it said that the correct answer was Vous vous êtes caché

During a quiz, the question posed was,

Vous _______________ dans le placard.

I conjugated it as Vous êtes cachés but it marked it as wrong. Is there a distinction when the subject is to one person? I am a bit confused.

WHen to drop the EZ from the vous form?

I don't understand why in this lesson the example is given i.e. the ez is dropped from the verb

-Donne-moi les fleurs!

-Give me the flowers!

However, I have been marked as incorrect by doing what seems to be the exact same thing.

Make this statement into an order : "Vous me donnez les fleurs": ________ les fleurs!imperative

· Donnez-moi RIGHT

· Donne-moi WRONG

Is this a mistake on your part or am I missing something here?

"their noses and their heads" why le nez but leur tête and why singularPendant les vacances de Pâques, j'ai emmené mes enfants à Brest, en Bretagne, afin qu'ils puissent visiter Océanopolis qui est l'un des plus grands aquariums de France. Depuis les trente dernières années, des millions de visiteurs en ont franchi les portes. Mes enfants étaient déjà fascinés par toutes les créatures marines qu'ils avaient vues jusque-là pendant la visite, mais quand nous sommes entrés dans le pavillon "Bretagne". ils n'en ont pas cru leurs yeux ! Dans cette section du parc, il y avait environ quarante aquariums remplis d'animaux marins qui vivent le long des côtes bretonnes : des homards bleus bretons, des hippocampes et des méduses "Aurélie" translucides. À un moment donné, les enfants avaient le nez collé contre la vitre d'un aquarium, quand soudain, un énorme requin scie est passé au-dessus de leur tête ! Quelle expérience inoubliable !

Score 49 out of 60 is wrong. Score should be 59 out of 60

Hi,

Internet was slow, it took ages for posts to register. At least one of my entries did not register at all. I made only one mistake, 'auparavant" which l spelled with an e (auparavent). Some punctuation challenges. So, l had rated myself 59 out of 60, not 49 out of 60. How do l fix this?
