Typo?

One of the kwiz question says "Si je le pouvais, ...." (If I could, ...). The "le" should not be there i think.

Hi Kelly,

You can say -

'Si je pouvais'

But when 'do it' is implied

If I could, I would, you would use 'le' -

Si je le pouvais, je le ferais = If I could, I would ( do it) .

Hope his helps!
