I'm having trouble with my sentence structures. Specifically, after the first verb in a sentence, when i present the second verb I dont know when to use "a", "de" or "pour". I would love some clarification on this!

Some examples for clarification:

- J'ai beacoup a faire

- Je veux parler francais (none of those intermediate words mentioned)

- On disait que des trucs sympas sur lui

- J'essaie juste d'oublier

- Je suis venue pour gagner

- C'est important d'etre gentil

Sorry for these examples, these are phrases I pulled from a magazine!

Quality of Speaking

I wonder how this audio passed the Quality Control department of LKL. The speech was too fast to be understood by a learner even at B1 stage.

Grammatical query

Good morning,

My answer to Q7 in this test was wrong.I wrote 'montre' instead of 'montres'.I am not sure why an 's' has been added to 'montre' since the auxiliary verb is avoir and not etre.(I cannot add the accents).I can only assume I've missed a lesson where this is discussed but I suspect it has something to do with the use of 'leur'.

Thank you for your help.

"Pour prendre le goûter"

Hi,

In the line "pour prendre le goûter", you cannot hear "pour" being said and it seems like it starts on "prendre". Can this be fixed please?

Thank you,

Lucille
