Merci

In this exercise, which asked to conjugate verbs in Plus-que-parfait, I wrote the following sentence: Marc lui avait souri et Gilles avait deviné tout de suite que Marc avait capturé son âme!  My « avait capturé » was marked down and corrected to be « avaient capturé ».  I cannot understand why a 3rd person plural conjugation is being used here instead of singular since the sentence talks about one person, Marc, who caught/captured Gilles’s soul.

During the exercise, per the bot, "tomates-cerises" is correct.  However, the finished text has "tomates cerises" with no hyphen.  Which is correct? 

Je suis confus.  pourquoi est-ce "la capitale de la France mais "le royaume de France.

Is the phrasing « but here it doesn’t mean no / any’ » not confusing in the last portion of the lesson, since the entry in this latter part addresses un/une where they earlier indicate de etc being the indicator of no / any….  The « but » should be removed, no?

I'm a little bit stumped as to why the text insists on use of the pluperfect instead of le passé composé?

E.g. mes sœurs et moi avions hurlé and nous étions allés à l'église locale.

Why is it not nous avons hurlé and nous sommes allés?

Merci en avance pour la réponse!

Here it is 

‚c‘est M.Dupont qui était responsable…‘

Is this an expression that always uses the present tense followed by the imperfect? Could you use imperfect and imperfect in this example ……c‘était M. Dupont qui était…..

Thank you 

Is this brand name white out?
