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.
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?
In the answers to "and equality also means freedom", it seems as if "l'égalité" and "la liberté" can be used in place of "égalité" and "liberté".
Does this mean that if you use "l'égailté" that you should also use "la liberté", or if you use "égalité" you should use "liberté"? Or is there some subtlety with the verb chosen that would require the use of an article?
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?
Hello!
I tried a different way of writing the final sentence, and it wasn't accepted by the exercise engine:
"que l'on peut aujourd'hui savourer le champage aux fines bulles qui se connaît dans le monde entier."
I tried this because the English text specified "[that is]" and I thought it was prompting use of "qui" -- is this grammatically in correct?
Is it alright to use "Pourrais-je vous offrir une boisson chaude gratuite en attendant ?" What would be the difference in using pourrais and puis, if any? Thank you.

I had trouble understanding the phrasing of two sentences so it was hard to translate.
What does "Favour the water bath" mean?
And in "Add an egg yolk to the chocolate and cream mix" shouldn't it be "chocolate and cream mixture" or "chocolate-cream mixture". It could be me, but I thought cream mix was a demand to beat the batter when I read it, or mix even sounded like a premade mixture like cake mix.
