Salut!

In the audio of the three above words, "le" and "la" are spoken instead of "ma" and "mon", which is what is actually written.

Merci!

Bonjour! I had always thought that conjugations like "voulons" and "voulez" were pronounced differently before vowels vs. consonants.  For example, I thought "vous voulez de l'eau" would be pronounced "vu vu-lay de l'oh" but "vous voulez une glace" would be pronounced "vu vu-laise une glace."  Similarly, "nous voulons de l'eau" would be pronounced "nu vu-lohn de l'oh" (not sure how best to represent the french nasal N) but "nous voulons une glace" would be pronounced "nu vu-lonz une glace."

I notice in the pronunciation sound guides above, however, that the endings of the words are not pronounced prior to a vowel.  

Am I wrong about pronunciation before vowels or are the sound clips incorrect?

Why "m'a gâché la vie" and not "a gâché ma vie"  or "m'est gâchée la vie".

Bonjour Madame Cécile !

This question is regarding a fill-in-the-blank test posted this week on the following link -> https://french.kwiziq.com/blog/une-envie-de-changement-pluperfect-practice/

The last sentence reads- Quand elle avait vu ma nouvelle coupe, Flora en avait eu le souffle coupé.

I am unable to understand why the pronoun "en" has been used here and what is its relation with "le souffle coupé" . 

Why does the second sentence translate as- 'Flora had been totally blown away.'

Merci beaucoup Madame pour m'aider encore.

Bonne journée !

how do you know where to use qui or que

For the french imperative he conjugation is same as the present tense except that for -er verbs, the last -s is dropped in the tu form. ... 

Je M'appelle Jordan, Je viens du Texas!

why is the sentence wrong?  " je suis désolée qu'ils s'en soient allés sans que l'on puisse leur dire au revoir.  the "s'en aller" is wrong ... explain why.
