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.
“Sa mère et moi l'avons seulement assistée avec les démarches administratives.”. Hi, ”sa mère” (mother is female) “et moi” (“moi” is the father, who is male) “avons assistée” (first-person plural passé composé). We have a mixture of male and female forming the “we”, so should the past participle be “assisté” and not “assistée”? Thanks.
In the sentence , doesn't sound like it starts with a . I listen to that over and over again and I just couldn't hear . Does anyone else get that problem?
Could someone explain the rule for describing who someone is; i.e. why does 'she is my wife' translate as c'est ma femme? - "it is my wife'!
Thanks.
in french how do you say they/them pronouns without it being pluralized? I know iel for they but i’m having trouble finding a singular them
Once I’ve used ‘demi ’ when ‘moitié’ was the right answer and once I used ‘moitié’ when ‘demi’ was the right answer. The explanations given for appropriate usage still aren’t doing it for me.
My translating tool says that "des patins à parquet" are "floor gliders." Anyone have any idea what kind of shoes they might be?
I was just listening to this exercise and came upon this sentence:
En une quinzaine d'années, c'est devenu le rendez-vous incontournable des amateurs de musiques dites "extrêmes".
The word quinzaine does not appear to be correctly recorded, it sounds way off to my ears.

In the third sentence of both the English & French text, after the second phrase (I stay at home & je reste chez moi) there is no comma. The way it is written it would sound like a run-on sentence.
