il est vs c'estC’est vrais que c’est interdit d’utiliser noms determinative depuis de “elle est\il est” (c’est une personne bonne, pas elle est personne bonne), pars que les français voient que c’est presentation, pas catègorisation ? Ou a-t-il autre raison pour ça? Pardonnez-moi pour mes erreurs dans ma question)

Le discours rapporté (Reported speech)

Direct speech : Ma mère m'a demandé "Qui est-ce avec toi?"

Indirect speech : a. Ma mère m'a demandé qui c'est avec moi.

b. Ma mère m'a demandé qui c’était avec moi.

I would be grateful if anyone can say a or b, which one is right, or any other is possible for this. Thanks in advance.

So many questions!Where do I even start with this one? ;) “ L'Incroyable au chocolat blanc et au spéculoos, L'Impensable au café, L'Excentrique à la cerise... Miam !” Is this structure a bit like a phrase, or poetic speech? Why the capitalisations? Why “l’ au ”? And what are spéculoos? :)

Note for revision

Note: the penultimate sentence doesn’t correct. It skips over after you submit it.

Pendant la seconde partie

"In the first half of the week" the acceptable translation is Dans (or durant or pendant) la première moitié though above it says "Durant". However, "In the second half of the week", "Dans" and "moitié are both marked as incorrect with "moitié" is replaced by "partie". Could you please explain the differences as I don't understand them.

Incorrect usage of washer dryer

In the passage, " ... and Lisa fills the washer dryer.", you should say that Lisa fills the dryer. A washer-dryer is usually a stackable set of machines with the washer on bottom and the dryer on top, although it can also be one integrated machine. In this exercise, Lisa is clearly loading the dryer. We would only say that she is loading the washer dryer if she is loading both machines.

Je n'avais jamais vu ça, on aurait dit un film d'horreur !

Hello.
The English sentence is: I'd never seen that, it was like in a horror movie!

I must have missed the rule that explains the use of conditional past in French. Can you enlighten me please.

Thanks.

Using de nombreux

For the sentence, - J'ai plein de parfums !, would - J'ai de nombreux parfums ! be acceptable. It was not given as an alternate.
