French language Q&A Forum

I've been struggling with this lesson for a while now and keep getting the answers wrong in tests.  I think I have it now but the additional research I've had to do suggests there are issues with this lesson. 

(1) The heading is a bit misleading, causing me to think for a long time that "if" made the phrase conditional,  whereas of course it's "would" that does that.  This caused me to think the phrase order was "Si [le conditionnel] (then) [L'imparfait]", whereas it's the opposite for most of the examples. The true order, I realise know, is "Si [l'imparfait] (then) [le conditionnel]", or "[le conditionnel], si [l'imparfait]".

(2) More importantly, the lesson does not mention that the tense of the "if" phrase can vary depending on the likelihood of the "result" phrase. This lesson is focused only on the unlikely outcome and does not discuss or even mention the likely or impossible outcomes as far as I can see.  Is there a reason for this? 

One of the prompts says translate "Will come and visit us?". I think it should be corrected to "Will you come and visit us?"

something that i have thought for a long time but why can we not have an audio button to play the whole text without all the breaks? 

In this sentence, I cannot hear the "d'œil"

Le vétérinaire a jeté un coup d'œil rapide à sa patte,

In the lesson you state:

English is my native language and I would never say "neither one nor the other". I would say "Neither the one nor the other" or better, as offered "Neither." "Neither one nor the other" just doesn't sound right. "Neither one" seems sufficient (and a third alternative) making the addition of "nor the other" seem superfluous and inappropriate. I wonder if this isn't a dialectical difference within North America. 

How would you translate the sentence, "Wine, we don't drink much of it." I wasn't sure about "Le vin, ..." so I asked Google Translate, which said it should be "Du vin, ..." But Duolingo marked that wrong and said it should be, "Le vin, ..." Which is correct? "Du vin, ..." actually feels more correct to me, because what you're really saying is, "On the subject of wine, we..." And wouldn't that be, "Au sujet du vin, nous ..." ? (Sorry, I don't know how to classify this type of sentence.)

Hello. Would it make a subtle difference if we use "on doit" instead of "on devrait" in this context? What would be the difference? Thank you.
