How does one express "this soup (or whatever) needs pepper! That is to say, this soup must have pepper (in order for it to taste ok)? Is 'il faut' acceptable or is 'avoir besoin de' the way to express?

La soupe, il faut du poivre!

Pronunciation in "J'insisterai jusqu'à ce que tu ailles le voir"

The pronunciation I'm hearing in the audio sounds like ". . . ce que t'way le voir" for " . . . ce que tu ailles le voir."

Is this actual French pronunciation or a bad recording?

The tip about English is inaccurate.

This is perhaps a bit off topic since it isn't about the French grammar point at hand, but the tip regarding the English construction is inaccurate. It says "Whereas in English, you will need to use a subject pronoun after than (... than I (do), you (do), he/she (does)...)". I know there are people who think this is a real rule, but it isn't how anyone actually speaks, and many dictionaries (e.g. Meriam-Webster's) acknowledge the use of object pronouns here.

I wrote 'pendant' in an answer in passé composé, which was marked srong, with 'durant' the acceptable answer.In the lesson it always says says 'pendant/durant.' Is there some tricky difference?

question from quiz: “ commencerions” (out of context!)

correct answer is:

“Nous commencerions à cinq heures si nos patrons nous laissait faire”.

Pourquoi pas: “si nos patrons nous laissait LE faire”.?

I just did a quiz that says “Ils partent leur travail à 19h“ is wrong & “Ils quittent leur travail à 19h” is the correct answer. Can someone please explain why this is so? I can’t see why “partent” is wrong given what the lesson content says.

Dans or not

J’habite une maison or j’habite dans une maison. I see the first one written but say the second. Am I wrong? Is it possible to use both?
