How would you say « whom do you miss »?
A correction for the phrase "quand j'essaie de manger" changed my spelling "essaie" to "essaye" and I do not understand why. Thank you for your explanation.
A2 question « The family are totally unbearable.
La famille est
Les familles sont
La famille sont
Les familles est
The question is incorrect in English,hence it prompts an incorrect answer in French. I suggest that the English version be written correctly (singular) so that the student is not misled.

If indirect speech is in the present tense, is it necessary to replace ce/cette/etc with something?
E.g.

Can I just check the spelling of the second "apparus" in Céline’s reply to Jenny-Anne?
She says "The correct answer was - Both sentences are correct
as you can say Puis, nous sommes apparus and Puis nous avons apparus"

Comment se fait-il que ... ?-> Note the use of inverted question form to emphasise the elegant structure."
Did you leave out 'cela' between 'Comment' and 'se fait-il'?
The notes state that Martin aime Sarah can say ´Martin loves Sarah’ but my answer was marked wrong, saying it should have been ´Martin aime bien Sarah’
It's not clear to me when used on. I'd appreciate some guidance about the use of that pronoun.
Why is it not "doucemment" with a double "m"?
