-ÉxER verbs have 2 accepted spelling patternscomplétera / complètera are both accepted spelling patterns per the lesson, yet in the Micro Kwiz I selected complétera which was marked as wrong and complètera was the correct answer. What's the difference?

Too Long!!!

This exercise is far far too long - I get distracted and bored and then I start over another day and the same thing happens. It is now my third week of it and I have not passed Point 1.

It needs to be broken up into different lessons! It makes me very annoyed and it is off putting to continue...

Voit-elle qui

I really don't understand why this can't be translated as "Whom does she see?" It was marked wrong yet it seems to be following all the rules. I'm confused and would appreciate an answer.

Ok, in the examples on non-countable items, the English translation uses "some". E.g. Il achete du pain. He buys some bread. Similar question in the

Similar question in the quiz (instead a female buying coffee), but when I chose the "some" option (she buys some coffee), I was not granted the score. That's contradictory and confusing. Which is it? With the "some", or without?

formally vs. in practice?

Could someone please expand a bit on the part that says “formally, it should be before, but in practice, it often ends up after”?

If, for example, we were to write it after in an exam script, would this be marked down and regarded as an inaccuracy?

Thanks in advance!

Question about "Il était une fois, un roi et une reine qui vivaient dans un château"

Is there a grammar lesson that explains the use and/or necessity of "qui" in this sentence?

Examples of conditionnel passé

At this link, https://progress.lawlessfrench.com/revision/glossary/verb-tense-mood/the-french-past-conditional-le-conditionnel-passe the two examples near the top of the page seem to be of the conditionnel présent instead of the conditionnel passé. Am I missing something?

flowers in plural?

Why is it des fleurs and not des fleures? As i understand it, flowers are feminine.

Thanks
