Se Parler au Passé Composé

Hi Team

Is "Se Parler"  always conjugated without the past participle agreement ?

Example : Elle se sont parlé.

If no, can you give an example sentence with past participle agreement.

please check:  https://www.collinsdictionary.com/dictionary/french-english/se-parler 

where the table shows agreement of Past participle. 

Thank you.

Spelling alternative

I think since 1990 and the contentious spelling reforms, there are now two acceptable ways to spell “onion” in French. I think the Academy even prefers “ognon” to be used over “oignon”. In the same way that you now allow “s’il vous plait” without the circumflex as well as “s’il vous plaît”, maybe you should add the new spelling of onion as an acceptable option?

Important team members

And of course the poor old “domestique”. Don’t forget them! They make up an important part of the “coureur cyclistes” in the Tour and do lots of the tough work for their more glamorous team-mates but don’t get any of the glory. Thanks for the list. Enjoying watching highlights each evening here in Australia.

Is this usage of revenir an idiom? Elle n'en revenait pas! I thought revenir is to come back so this phrasing confused me till I used Google translate to realize it meant, She couldn't believe it.

J'allais préparer de la soupe should be correct

Please Kwiziq do not be like Duolingo and be inflexible with the words allowed/considered correct. Faire de la soupe et préparer de la soupe are synonymous and both should be correct.

Would I be correct in making this assumption?

"La fois dernière" = Noun

"La dernière fois" = Adverb & noun

I got a question wrong, looked at this lesson again and got confused by the whole "followed by a clause" thing (tricky to remember) and I thought that maybe this would be a easier way for me to remember it but I don't want to be lead down the wrong track.
