Sarah ne faisait pas confiance à Thomas.

Does this sentence imply that Sarah trusts Thomas now? If I hear someone say 'Sarah does not use to trust Thomas.' in English, I would think that she trusts him now. Not sure about it in French.

General suggestion

Hello just a general observation/suggestion, sometimes a lesson is recommended by the bot but then we can't take the mini quiz because we already took it recently. So probably the bot should have recommended other lessons instead?

-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!
