I’m having difficulty with the sentence "Leurs témoignages ________ louches à la police.
(Their testimonies sounded dodgy to the police)Why isn’t the verb in l’imparfait rather than PC? It seems to me that the testimonies weren’t suddenly dodgy, it was something that continued
I thought that "turc" referred to a Turkish man and that "turque" referred to a Turkish woman. The correct answer indicates that "turque" refers to a Turkish man. Please explain why my answer was marked as incorrect.

"Elle était déjà partie quand je suis arrivé"I have a playback problem... the first time I play this it is fine but second and subsequent omit "elle".. if I go to another phrase and come back, it still happens and need to reload the page to get back to the full recording.. this seems to be happening in about 50% of the playbacks on this page.. the others are absolutely fine and seems no rhyme or reason.. happens on other pages as well.. don't think it is my iPad.

The correct answer in this exercise was "Tous les gosses y vont, mais aucun ne prend le train."
Equally, could you just say "Tous les gosses y vont, mais personne ne prend le train." Does it have the same meaning and is it correct?
Also, I thought aucun(e) ne was reserved for things rather than people?

In a C1 test the correct answer was shown as:
Je prends mon petit-déjeuner après que tu t'es levé, with the hint being:
I have my breakfast after you get up.
Why isn't the correct answer:
Je prends mon petit-déjeuner après que tu te leves.
What am I missing?
I want to know the affirmative impératif, negative impératif, affirmative pronominal interrogative and negative pronominal interrogative form of future proche.
is there another on the subject you would recommend?
Why is the future rather than the present not used for this? i.e. 'next time I will choose the film' or 'next time I am going to choose the film' because it is suggesting an action in the future.
