I might be wrong, but I hear everywhere that "excité" has a sexual connotation in French, unlike in English. If it's right, I think it would be better to change the adjective here.

 Looking for more detail on these verbs, I couldn't find ANY French verb conjugation sites that conjugated verbs like AMUSER, MAQUILLER, REPOSER, or even DÉCÉDER with ÊTRE. They all use AVOIR. Why is that?

I put Ils me manquaient quand ils étaient partis  but the answer given is Ils m'ont manqué quand ils étaient partis. 

I thought it would be imparfait because I was in a state of missing them all the time they were absent.

I looked up rewarding on Google translate and it was enrichissant?????

Why "Après manger" and not "Après mangé" or "Après avoir mangé".

Hi, I have played "J'en vaux vraiment la peine !" a number of times and it sounds like she is saying "vous" and not "vaux" - it sounds like "vaux" in "Tu vaux mieux que ça !"  - can you please confirm if it is right or wrong?

Question: Tu dois te présenter au Consulat Général pour avoir ton visa.

Answer: Tu dois t'y presenter pour en avoir

Why are we replacing ton visa with en and not le. Plzz tell

A 'parlement' was not a parliament; the connection is etymological but not semantic. The latter is a representative national assembly, so you  might risk translating it either as 'assemblée nationale' or 'états généraux', although you start to move into controversial historical territory here! However, a 'parlement' was an entirely different institution: it didn't pass laws, it was a kind of appeal court. The people gathered there were judges, not (elected or nominated) representatives. In addition, the English, the British now UK Parliament is a national institution, whereas there was one 'parlement' for each regional. The 'parlements' were abolished in 1790, so aren't a useful point of reference for contemporary politics. I'd drop it from your list, as retention unfortunately helps this longstanding misunderstanding continue. 

This is the first lesson I've run across that is confusing, so that's pretty darn good!  There are no examples of third person plural except the irregular one, so a novice has no idea what the third person plural rule is for regular verbs.  Please update so make it clear that aient is indeed the ending for regular as well as irregular verbs (maybe by using a regular verb as the example since this page is supposed to be about regular verbs).  Thanks.
