why this is marked incorrectly
Je suis arrivé dans cinq minutes." I'll be there in five minutes
while this is given in lesson
Je suis là dans deux secondes !I'll be there in two seconds!
Could you also say here ' nous étions allés écouter des chants de Noël à l'église locale.'?
“…four or so…” sounds like an indeterminate or uncountable number to me, hence should be included amongst the right answers to the use of “quelques”. is it four or isn’t it four? :-)
Pour la phrase, "pendant que les adultes admireront..." j'ai dit, "tandiq que des adultes admireront..." Une correction j'ai recu etait "tandis que d'adultes admireront..." Vous pouvez expliquer pourquoi on dit d'adultes et pas des adultes?
Merci
In the second sentence, why is "cher" masculine, and not feminine.
Just to let you know, for “OK, but it's on me!” the first answer “Ok, mais c'est moi qui t'invite !” doesn’t have an audio file.
Je pense que cette conversation aurait été plus interessante et utile si une des personnes avait présenté la position du gouvernement d’en manière cool et rationale. On s’attend à cela au niveau C1. Pour moi au Canada, je n’ai pas fait mon retraite jusqu’au âge 66, et j’ai trouvé quitter mon travail plutôt dur parce que mon salaire à temps plein c’est bien, et le travail est un forme de vie sociale.

Can pendre be used instead of accrocher?
“trois-cent-quarante three hundred and forty”
However, in the lesson “Expressing large numbers -thousands/millions/billions - in French” the description begins with:
“Up to neuf cent quatre-vingt-dix-neuf [choses] (999 [things])”
Which example is correct? Should there be hyphens between all parts of the number, or just some of them?
Thank you.
In this lesson, Expressing Numbers from 70 to 999, the paragraph which begins "Note: Before the 1990 Spelling Reform, numbers including et as well as numbers higher than 100 didn’t include the hyphen...", has two examples, "deux cent" and "deux-cent", neither of which have "cent" written as "cents". They should have an "s" at the end shouldn't they, since they are not followed by another number?
