A small niggle.  Prior to the sentence, "I am not sure", I believe there is no indication as to whether the customer is male or female.  The exercise corrects the response, sûr, to sûre.  How were we to know that the customer is a woman without being told ?

Why is ou wrong or 'nearly right' here: Les citoyens français peuvent voter aux élections locales du pays de l'UE ou________ ils sont installés.

Team - the speaker here is terrific. Just the right speed, wonderful clarity of diction. Much needed for such a tough exercise! Bien joué.

Should this example:
J'ai acheté une jupe ! - Oh, c'est cher, les jupes !I bought a dress! - Oh, skirts are expensive!

Translate to:
I bought a skirt! - Oh, skirts are expensive!

I'm confused. Doesn't ..ing in English denote the present participle? In French that would suggest "leaving" would be expressed as "partant", "talking" as "parlant" etc; not the  use of the infinitive. 

My best guess right now is that à is used with definite articles, and dans is used with indefinite ones. So "Je vais au parc," and "Je vais dans un parc." Is that correct?

Is it equally correct to say “Je me suis lavé LA tête” and “J’ai lavé MA tête”?

usage of se passer seems pure examples of pronominal usage and not reflexivity. seems important given the strict pronominal vs. reflexive discussions found elsewhere in course. non ?

The rsults are telling me i scored 0 out of 60 when i was only corrected on maybe 4 of my answers.
