In the sentence '80.000 tonnes de cassoulet en conserve sont consommés chaque année' shouldn't 'tonnes' agree with 'consommés' ?

Combien ça coute Is Also valid?

Can you give some examples with avoir besoin?

Since most of the dictée is in present tense, why is the futur proche used for walking in the Tuileries. 

This was possibly the most difficult C1 exercise that I have tackled.  Nevertheless, I tried it.  I scored myself at 40 out of 70.  It simply points out how far I have to go.  Thanks for the challenge. 

Punctuation isn't mentioned in the dictation so should not be counted in the score (feedback from my year 11 students).

I was wondering if anéantir could be used in this context as a possible substitute for écraser.   Thanks.

In two places in this exercise the adjective precedes the noun.  I don't understand why.  Can someone explain?  The situations were "L'imposant animal" and "riches plantations."  Thanks.

I'm very confused with devoir and which tense to use now, as your lesson said devoir in imperfect meant "supposed to do" and perfect meant "had to do", yet you use the imperfect to say "had to do" here ? Can you please explain and also explain what that lesson actually means as it doesn't seem to be relevant?
