The written piece says "tellement d'endroits", which was marked wrong when I wrote it. Acceptable were: "tant d'endroits" or "tellement de lieux". Are they all correct?

Selon Tom, elles seraient rentrées chez elles vers 3h.

According to Tom, they went home (lit.would have gone home) around 3.

The French sounds as if it should be translated as the time they "got home" whereas the English "went home" implies it is the time they left -- time travel ?

Technically, you cannot use the near future for weather forecasting.  A forecast is a prediction; therefore, the future simple should be used.  The only grammatically correct way to use the near future for weather is when you are outside, the wind whips up, storm clouds roll in with thunder/lightening...then, you can say (in English, French, or Spanish) that it's "going to rain".  Perhaps in very colloquial language the near future is used for weather forecasts, but it is wrong, and this should be clearly noted in the lesson.

So in an earlier exercise, "I love swimming," you had a possible answer for fear of heights as "peur du vide" but not in this one.  Is there a reason why?

Bonjour, 

For the word culture the book says it should be masculine but the ending as a feminine ending ure so shouldn't it be feminine?

Thanks

Est-ce que le verbe gambader utilise l'objet indirecte? (qui lui gambadait)  Merci

Hi, shouldn't it be

sur un fond vert, pas font vert, ou peut-être qu'on se cache dans une église :-)

Merci

Hi,

In the sentence 'On avait  alors,ouvert les rideaux pour découvrir, éberlués..etc'

Why is 'éberlués' not singular to agree with'on'.

Is it because plurality is implied?

Is there a lesson on this to clarify?

Thanks
