So "demeurer" sounds "posh"? What about "habiter"? Don't they mean the same thing?

There should be an option to play slowly do each word could be deciphered separately. This would be a good addition to the listening practise section.

For the last section, would it also be ok to use "on" instead of "nous": "on peut enfin ouvrir nos cadeaux !"? I thought that was acceptable, but Kwiziq didn't seem to like it.

Est-ce que tu ________ rentré le linge?Did you bring the laundry back inside?You use avoir but isn't it subjontif, so aies?

J'ai visité Versailles dimanche dernier.

Why is it not: le dimanche dernier?

Vous le couvrez de neige.

Why is the word "de" there?

I would think "avec"?

so does pronouncing the s work like dix and six?

One of the fill-in-the-blanks exercises has a line, "En novembre, je fais antichambre."

What does this mean, (as it's quite foreign to my American sensibilities)??

My question regards choosing to translate using the imparfait or plus que parfait vs passé composé. Often I will choose the passé composé but the exercise will say  to use the imparfait or plus que parfait because of expressing an opinion. In this exercise, then, I used the imparfait instead of the phrase describing the first lesson: "....qui s'est très bien passée". Wouldn't this express an opinion? If not, then please help me to see the difference between this and "elle ne s'y attendait pas"
