One of the questions has the reply alternative: D'ici le temps que nous trouvions une solution, il sera trop tard. This was considered incorrect.

However, Reverso has loads of examples where "D'ici le temps que + subj." is translated as "By the time that". So, any reason why this doesn't work here?

d'ici le temps que ces dispositions soient mises en oeuvre -> by the time this is implemented

d'ici le temps que ton bébé ait le même âge que Samuel  -> by the time your baby is Samuel's age

Hello,

I had this kwiziq question: Catherine ________ à l'hôtel ce soir. (Catherine is sleeping at the hotel tonight.)

I put the answer for the blank as "est en train de dort", but instead the answer is only "dort". I thought that "dort" would = he/she sleeps (not he/she is sleeping)

I thought that dormir = (to) sleep; être en train de dormir = sleeping.

Thanks for the help!

In the first paragraph and the phrase "il faut entrer dans la tête .." I'm hearing the "t" of "faut" being pronounced.

As there is a "verbe + verb infinitif" situation my understanding is that liaison is forbidden.

However, the "t" sounded does not appear to link across to "entrer".

I would really appreciate some comment !

The question was 'are we going out'.    Why is the answer on sort and not on va sort
