As stated in the lesson if you are emphasizing something in the past "en train de" can be used.  Therefore if you are emphasizing "Henri was having a nap when his boss came in "

"Henri était en train de faire une sieste ..." should be acceptable

OK, I spelled 'conduisiez' wrong, but I am puzzled as to the of the expletif 'ne' here.  As I understand it, it has no negative meaning, but how does one know when to use it in these subjunctive clauses?

why is verb avons montrés not avons montré?

lists all lessons connectes to piece but no vocab

Thank you helping in previous question.

How to know the order of the words..?

Est ce que tu parles la francias?

Est ce que parlez vous la francias?

How to decide- personal pronoun to be used has to be before verb or after verb??

Thank you

The son WAS born in the past?  Why then use "est né" rather that "était né"? 

In the case of "She's not joking. She's saying it seriously.", what is "it"? Where is the idea that "it" is replacing? "She's saying she's not joking seriously"? Or is it "She's saying it's not a joke, seriously"?

I understand that I have to use "le" here as the lesson is about replacing an idea, but the idea seems so disconnected that I can't nail down what "le" represents, or why "en" would not be just as valid.
