I am unsure why "Antoine a mal aux épaules" is correct since "épaules" is femine and should use the article la unless "é" negates the use of " l' ". Thank you.

Considering the followoing rule "In French, you use pendant/durant + [durée], or simply the duration itself, to express a duration with a clear beginning and end." Does the question below bot have both the options correct ?
the J'ai attendu ________ devant la gare (I waited for forty minutes in front of the station).
Pendant quarante minutes / quarante minutes
Thanks for reply.
kind regards,

Reviewing this lesson, I have a question about the explanation of the two different conjugations. The lesson states:
"First conjugation:
(Note that for the 'tu' form, two pronunciations are possible)."
This is confusing as I am aware of only one pronunciation for "Assieds-toi". (And, only one pronunciation is used in the audio.)
If the lesson is referring to the difference in pronunciation between the first conjugation and the second conjugation, then not only the "tu" form, but also the "nous" and "vous" forms differ from their respective pronunciations.
A clarification would be helpful.
Merci mes amis,

I’m just wondering what this was supposed to be, because the video is no longer available. Edit: I reported the example. The exact number seems to change each time the lesson is accessed.
When do you begin a sentence with où versus vous (or tu)? What’s the point of it being written both ways? Is one more common than the other?
There are no lessons, just sentences in french and I'm supposed to know what they mean!
C'est très utile pour apprendre les mots et les expressions d'une dictèe que le sujet soit un film ou un réalisateur, ou tous les deux. On peut référer au film afin de bien comprendre ce qui on a essayé faire dans l'exercise de la dictée. Vous devrez le faire de temps en temps pour renforcer le leçon , pour mieux retenir ce qu'on a appris.
Why use du coup instead of donc? Du coup and donc both translate to so.
Translates as 'You're worth it'. That may be how it is used colloquially but doesn't it really translate as 'You're worth the grief?'
Why is debuts plural? And what does it mean here? In English it implies a first public performance, is that also the case in French? The English translation of this is peculiar in that it could mean she is starting drama school. If it referred to the English meaning of debut it would translate as 'she is making her debut on stage'
