In the second-to-last sentence in this dialogue, the character doesn't change back to the customers' voice (the last 3 sentences are all in the waiters' voice). It sounds like the waiter is asking himself if the restaurant has sparkling water. I know this is a help desk issue, but I suggest a Report Problem button be included in these lessons like the regular lessons have in order to report these glitches more easily.

What are the different meanings of emmener and amener?

Est-ce que les arts de la cuisine est aussi une possibilité ?

Write "Bob is woken up by the alarm clock every day." : Bob ________ le réveil tous les jours.

The correct answer is "Bob est réveillé par le réveil tous les jours.

I get that the alarm clock is the subject, that Bob is the object, so the sentence is in the passive voice. What confuses me is "est réveillé." What tense is that? Since it is habitual, I think of l'imparfait ("réveillait"). Then "est reveillé" seems like passé composé, with an auxilliare followed by the participe passé, but avoir is the auxilliare for réveiller, not être. Word Reference shows reveillé as an adjective, but it seems like a verb as it is used in this sentence.

I'm sure as soon as I hit "Ask Question" the answer will be blindingly obvious to me, but in case that doesn't happen, could someone clear this up? Thanks!

I'm wondering why the verb tense here doesn't match the English sentence that was given : "We **had wanted** you so much for so long... ".

Is "baies rouges" acceptable or only "fruits rouges"? And does "fruits rouges" mean a specific type of berry, or can it be e.g. redcurrants, cranberries etc?
