I don't understand how "Marie a manqué l'école" means "Marie didn't go to school". There isn't aller in the sentence so how does that work?

Salut,

For the sentence "et les jeudi et vendredi, j'avais mes cours de danse moderne," my "et" is being red-lined and replaced with the English "and" in blue. Not sure if others are experiencing the same problem. Kinda threw me for a loop. Haha.

Is it correct that simply the duration itself can express a duration in specific time frame, and 'pendant' is optional? For example: 

1) J'étais là pendant 45 minutes = J'tais là 45 minutes

2) Je me brosse les dents trois minutes à chaque fois = Je me brosse les dents pendant trois minutes à chaque fois

3) Nous sommes restés à Tokyo pendant 10 jours = Nous sommes restés à Tokyo 10 jours

4) Combien de temps vous avez resté =  Pendant combien de temps vous avez resté?

Thank you. 

Is it also correct to say:

Elle rappelle à Alain sa sœur 

I am getting this word order in Reverso translation and Google Translate for many examples I made up with the same structure. I know Google Translate is not always reliable, but I have also seen other examples that seem to indicate the word order above is used as well as the one used in the lesson. Thank you.

Could not the translation for "You lose" be "Vous perde" as well as "Vous perdez"?

Pourquoi pas il est toujours très marrant?

Un identifiant- has a voice overlay at the start. 

Also suggest words for : an attachment, chat, inbox, hashtag, mailing list, etc be added.
