Cécile goes and takes vs Cécile takesIt seems to me that, at least at the A1/present tense level here, this exercise might best be reworded to say "Cécile takes their order" - this is in the present. I am not sure there is any benefit in this exercise to using "goes and takes".
Using "Cécile goes and takes", while present tense, is really one action (taking the order), however the "goes" and that the acceptable answer uses "va prendre", to me anyway, implies near future tense, which is beyond the scope of this exercise it seems.
If the intent is to use near future, then use "Cécile will go and take their order", but that does not make sense for this exercise.
Based on other comments, it seems others have similar issues.
Similarly, on the last sentence, the answer seems to match the actual text, using "faire" instead of the text in the hint, which would imply using "prendre". I might recommend just deleting the hint.
In the sentence; J'avais oublié de finir mes devoirs; why the de?
How far in the future are you supposed to use the immediate future, I just got it wrong because it referred to next Tuesday, that doesn't sound very immediate to me?
This distinction, as explained, is very tricky for me. I don't grasp the difference in meaning. Oh well....
why not have a multiple choice after the reading exercise. that would make it much more useful and helpful in preparing for delf
In the sentence: donc je me suis baignée tous les jours.
I used imparfait, since it is an ongoing activity - every day - and Juliette is describing what she is doing.
donc je me baignais tous les jours.
Why is passé composé being used here?
Could you use "une petite pause" instead of "Prendre le goûter ?
surly if i say: “elle est ma sœur” or “il est le fils de Martha” that is a correct sentences right??????????? i m sure/ think i ve heard that in french!!!! why shouldn’t it work????
this is very confusing

In the 5th segment of the dialogue, the text reads:
"- Je voudrais une boule à la vanille, une boule au chocolat et une boule à la fraise s'il vous plaît."
But the audio says:
" - Je voudrais une boule à la vanille, et(?) une boule au chocolat et une boule à la fraise s'il vous plaît." I'm not sure if that word is actually "et" as it almost sounds like "y a", as though somebody is saying "il y a" too fast.
This is in both the lesson and the end-of-lesson full text.
