Just a question concerning the reference to Finir as the Regular 2nd group of -ir verbs; and Partir as Irregular 3rd group of -ir verbs.

Is there an explanation somewhere of the groups of verbs that are being referred to here? What is the Regular 1st group -ir verbs, etc.?

Hello, I had to translate « I would like some more love in my life ». My understanding was that voudrais is used when I’m asking for something to be given to me, such as a drink or object, and aimerais is used when I would like something to happen as opposed to being given a physical object. However, this was marked wrong. Is using aimerais in this example very unnatural? Thank you!

Personally I think the vocabulary:- sauter is harder than se jeter, and I would add it to the list/ swap them.. this is a good test for listening for the imparfait.. thanks

Est-ce que tu des sous vetements dans ce magasin ou seulement des legumes?

Why is reposer used in the final sentence as a translation of leaving the tart to set? Doesn't reposer just imply leave it to rest (in the fridge) with no mention of setting?,
