I had not come across this verb before, and thought it would behave like an ir verb wth a past participle of acquéri. Could you tell me which other verbs follow the same pattern as acquérir? Or is it completely irregular?

Je fais le lit après que tu t'es levéJe fais le lit après que tu t'es levé. I'm making the bed after you've got [US: gotten] up.

I'm a bit confused by the meaning of this sentence (the temporality). If it refers to a one time thing (not a habit) then is it referring to future actions ? i.e. is it an equivalent of "I will make the bed once you have gotten up ?" Or does it mean that I am right now doing the bed but I have started some time in the past after you have already gotten out of bed ?

Audio answer doesn't match written answer"j'engagerai un chef qui s'occupera de tous nos repas". This part of the audio uses a different description to the written answer. Please update either the written or audio to match. Cheers!

...sans que je n'aie jamais...

I am looking at this sentence - 'Toi qui me faisais sauter sur tes genoux pendant des heures sans que je n'aie jamais l'impression de t'ennuyer' - and wondering about the n' before the jamais. He is saying 'without me ever feeling', not 'without me never feeling'.

these literal meanings need to be revised

saying "literally - and we completely remade my wardrobe" isn't quite right when you've missed out "together"? I feel like these hints aren't helpful and in fact hinder my progress in the text as they aren't "literal" at all. Plus in that sentence, to say "we bought me a new wardrobe" isn't quite what a native English person would say, they'd simply say "and we bought a new wardrobe (for me).

Hope this can be of use and makes sense from my point of view.
