Hi, in the exercise step-through there is an incorrect audio recording. The text is “I first heard someone breathing”/“J'ai d'abord entendu quelqu'un respirer” but the audio contains “souffle” instead of “respirer”.
“...de serre. ce qui...” —->
“...de serre. Ce qui...”
I can't find either of these verbs in this form in any source, yet they are given as options for 'rewatch'. Although mater (already listed as 'very familiar' in Larousse and as 'argot' by the Academie-Française) and regarder are listed, neither shows up anywhere in 're' form ? Is this just slang - adding re- to any base verb as needed ?
Can you explain their origin and why they would be acceptable here ?
For "I believe that it would enrich my life" the only correct alternative given for "believe" is "je pense". Is there a subtle reason that "je crois" would not be as appropriate in this particular context?
(Also there is a rogue full-stop that has snuck in between "horizon" and "en ouvrant" in the second sentence of the exercise)
Why for open the door slowly: it's "doucement" instead of "lentement"
question required this answer for i need three eggs, why not j'ai besoin de, please
In the translation options for “Martine and I went for a walk around town”, why are the “baladés/allés” not “baladées/allées” as the two people referenced are both female?
Regarding the position of interrogative particles, such as 'quand' in:
"Quand Juliette et Pauline ont-elles déménagé ?"
I can't recall exactly which previous lesson(s) touched upon this, but can one shift 'quand' to other positions, such as:
"Juliette et Pauline, quand ont-elles déménagé?"
"Juliette et Pauline ont-elles déménagé quand?"
