Tout le monde ______ des notes pendant la leçon d'histoire. C'était ennuyeux.

I would LOVE to not have points deducted because of punctuation...one can't always tell when listening, especially when a dash is before the phrase. One could read the punctuation after the exercize. Also, I find grading myself a waste of time and wish I could skip it.

This was listed as a writing exercise.  I don’t really mind but it was a surprise.

Is there any way to put the NEXT button next to the rating (smiley faces) BEFORE the lessons suggested? These dictation and writing exercises are so beneficial, but there is a lot of movement from keyboard to mouse to scroll past suggested lessons, after each small phrase. This physical repetitive movement is incredibly annoying and seems unnecessary. The best would be not having to switch to the mouse at all, that would be much more efficient ! Thanks for listening to my suggestion.

In the sentence "Au final, ce que je préfère avec la Saint-Valentin, c'est trouver les chocolats à prix réduit que l'on peut acheter en général le 15 février dans les magasins !" what is the purpose of the "l'" before on? Merci !

At the lawlessfrench.com website, the webpage "Petit Synonyms" lists many intriguing alternatives to the term "petit". One two-word synonym I ran across & made note of when I saw it at one of the Writing Exercises at Progress with Lawless French, is 'tout petit' for petit.

I translated this as ' il fallut donc qu'elle affiche son statut de veuve' Was this incorrect as it wasn't given as an option.

Thanks
