In the sentence "tout le monde aide avec les corvées"

1. why is the phase singular if means plurel as in everyone 
2. why is corvées feminine? I would have thought corvés as it is a mix of people (potentially)

And...

In the sentence "Julien s'occupe du tri des déchets"

1. why “tri” and not “trie”, I couldn’t find a “tri” in any tenses?

Merci beaucoup

It does rather put modern man in a bad light, but that aside a good dictation exercise.

My main point though is that the woman's diction was clear but the man's was muffled and difficult to understand.

Hi,

I was wondering. My friend had asked me a question How is your room? Would I still use elle est since it is specific when i respond to her?

This is a phone call, correct?  Why was my word Allo (with accent on the A)marked incorrect in the first line?

depuis que j'etais petite pendant l'hiver, on a campe dans les montagnes dans le canton de Geneve. 

In the introduction to the exercise, the man is called Gabriel.  In the actual text, he is Gilles.

Est-ce que la phrase "à ces heures" a un sens?  Merci.

Besides 'comme celles que j'avais eues les premiers mois', one of the recommended translations of 'like the ones that I'd had during the first few months' is 'telles que j'avais eues pendant les premiers mois'.

But the antecedent is 'une hallucination'.

So shouldn't this option be 'telle que j'avais eue pendant les premiers mois'...?

In the imperative, what is the rule for pronouncing the letter vs the letter sound ? I’ve heard both and don’t understand the difference. 

Very interested by Chris’s use of “depuis” in “Je regarde depuis de belles collines”. Does using “depuis” impact a slight change in the English translation such as “I have been watching from beautiful hills” or am I overthinking it.
