Aren't silk scarfs usually foulards ? I think of écharpes more like ski, wool, or winter scarfs. Am I wrong ? At the very least, it should have been offered as an answer, no?

For the sentence, "we'll all be dressed in red, white and blue, I wrote: "on sera tous habillés en rouge, blanc et bleu". The space after the comma after rouge was marked as an error and it was translated as "on sera tous habillés en rouge,blanc et bleu". Is this a thing with lists? I couldn't find any reference to it. (I have long thought that an exercise on French punctuation would be a good idea and very helpful.)

While I'm here, would it be possible to supply the accompanying vocabulary lists in French? I look up the English and use what I find, but it's so often wrong that it's frustrating and disheartening.

Both thes phrases are in this lesson and contradict one another...

'following the Spelling Reform it is recommended to use hyphens with any numbers lower or greater than 100 (quarante-et-un / deux-cents)'

71 = 60 + 11 = soixante et onze    (No hyphen)

Cette lecture est tres vite pour moi. Pouvez-vous parlez plus lentement, s'il vous plait?

The hint indicates that he is no longer working as an accountant, so surely it should be past perfect tense.

1. Je trouve que tu joues bien.

2. Je te trouve jouer bien.

Hi

to say "we missed you" = tu nous as manqué (sort of saying : you were missed by us)

so why is it "Paul a manqué son train," = straight translation "Paul missed his train," and not "son train a manqué à Paul" or "son train Paul a manqué"? Thank you.
