J'ai vraiment apprécié cette dictée.  J'ai adoré leur enthousiasme pour les Bleus.  Je regarde la Coupe du Monde tous les 4 ans bien que je ne connaisse pas grand chose au foot!

Duolingo gives a sentence: 

"You will have to not make a lot of errors during the exams."

The sentence is awkward and the given answer is:

"Il ne faudra pas faire beaucoup d'erreurs pendant les examens"

but It also accepts:

"Il faudra ne pas faire beaucoup d'erreurs pendant les examens"

as you suggest it should be above.  Are both forms acceptable when negating the first of double verbs, is this a unique situation, or is there another explanation?

Je ne suis pas vraiment le foot mais je me souviens du "coup de tête"!   

I understood ¨pelle¨ as shovel.  Is there no difference?

In the sentence 'La musique représente également un moteur de créativité' why is the definite article not used before 'créativité'? I feel a French sentence about creativity would probably begin 'La créativité...'

Hi, do the weekend workouts get added to the relevant category (in this case Writing B1)?

I’m wondering if I’m seeing the WWs by working through the main Writing/Reading/etc. categories, or if I need to go through the WWs as an additional activity. 

For the sentence,  j'ai grandi en regardant les matches avec lui, how come it's not in the imparfait? He was growing up over a period of time, and watched several matches during this time, so it was a repeated action. I thought it should be imparfait. Please advise.
