- Can I use "se composait" instead of "regroupait"?

- why use "en eut assez d'attendre (passé simple) while this place is supposed to describe the speaker's feeling, therefore can I use avait (imparfait) in this context.

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.

In this lesson you teach both forms are correct but in the exercise you mark s'asseyent as incorrect. Why?

I understand that aucun is more emphatic than pas de, but does "Je n'avait pas d'idée ..." not work for this sentence as well?  Thank you.

Why isn't is "étaient"?  the subject seems to be plural--"nos parents". 

Could anybody help me with the form of the word: 'cochant'?

I have learned third person plural conjugation is cochent, but this word 'cochant' I couldn't find in a dictionary. 

As you know, cocher is infinitive form of verb but what about cochant? Please!

The original context: "Répondez aux questions en cochant la ou less bonne response."

Please help me!

What is correct " tu achetes les chaussures" or " tu achetes des chaussures"
