A male sheep is called a ram in English and I thought a male sheep in French was a bélier? Is it that people in France call male sheep "mouton"?

Thanks for clearing this up because I was a little confused...

In this exercise, "rr" of Pourriez-vous sounds silent but in the lesson (Conjugate pouvoir in the conditional present in French = could (Le Conditionnel Présent)), for the same Pourriez-vous, I can make out clearly she's enunciating it. Is it just that I can't hear the "rr" in this exercise as clearly as the other one?

What is a pronoun, i cant see it here?

When looking around on the internet, it seems like "Retourner" is used here and there, both informal on message boards and formal on shopping sites (for example H&M website: "POUR RETOURNER UN ACHAT EN LIGNE"), for indicating returning an item.

Could you elaborate on this and why you write "Retourner never means to return (something) in the context of a shop for example." ?

Hi, in the mini-quiz, it gives une histoire très interessante as correct. However, I understood that if the adjective is modified by an adverb of only one syllable, it comes before the verb. As in the given example un très joli manteau. So by that logic, it should be une très interessante histoire?
