I'm confused by 'si vous pouviez ajouter'

I'm confused by 'si vous pouviez ajouter' above which I'm not sure how to translate. I would have said 'si vous pourriez ajouter': 'if you would/could add'

Context not clear to clarify what is right or wrong.

Yhere is nothing in the context and no hint as to why either answer could or could not be correct.

rendez-vous!! Is this contrast correct?

Je pourrais certainement OBTENIR UN rendez-vous. BUT Je pourrais certainement PRENDRE rendez-vous. ?? No article with prendre.

Or is it contextual/optional.

Translation question

According to this lesson, "Marie a manqué l'école." should translate to "School misses Marie." But in the quiz, the correct answer is "Marie didn't go to school."

When I click on the Learn and Discuss button, it redirects me to the "manquer (de)" page, which is not what is used in the original sentence (manquer à).

Wouldn't the proper translation be "Marie a manqué d'école"? Help is appreciated.

Quiz screen is cut off along the right edge so I can’t press “complete”

This has happened a few times lately. For some reason the right side of the response and the “complete” button are cut off on my Ipad screen.

Dernier = final / previous (adjectives that change meaning according to position)2 of 2"La semaine dernière, Pierre a fait un gâteau." means: select ... Next week, Pierre will make a cake.Last week, Pierre made a cake. (the week before)The last week, Pierre made a cake. (the final week of that period)

dans un petit village du sud de la France

I think I put "au sud de France"... I'm translating directly from English, but is there a reason why "in the south of France" becomes "du sud de la France"
