The question:

says it translates to "Suddenly, the creature was here, opposite me."

Does that mean that can mean both "here" and "there" in English then?

The transcription has "j'avais beaucoup de mal à parler" - shouldn't it be "du" instead of "de", going by the lesson cited in the exercise? At any rate, it sounded like "du" to me. Thank you.

Can “ce qui déroulera” be used here, or does this verb mean “unwind” only in a more literal sense (e.g. unwind a reel of cable)? 

Why would we use « leur histoire » for « their stories »? It is confusing because some of your alternative phrases use « leurs histoires »and some use « leur histoire ». Is there a lesson on this?

What about Guadeloupe?

S'attendre = expecting.  Attendre = waiting.  How can your answer in this exercise be both?

10. Cette infirmière attend un garçon is not reflexive.  Why in one answer This nurse is expecting a boy.

I'm wondering about this sentence: "Des festivites incontournables qui prennent habituellement fin a Mardi Gras, soit la veille du..."

What is the reason for the subjunctive verb tense of "soit" toward the end of this statement? 

I looked it up so know that it means "I just have to touch your marble" but can this be explained on how it means that? Why is plus included in this ?

Thanks!
