Why does Kwiziq (and some other apps that teach French) make use of "livre" (meaning "pound") in their examples. I have seen it used for both weight and money. France and Canada use it for neither. The US use it for weight but are there any countries that use it for money any longer.

Is it just so we can read historical novels set in English-speaking countries? If so I would not expect to see it used so often when there must be many more useful vocab words that we could be encouraged to memorize.

Je sais le faireThe translation according to the lesson is "I can do it" but surely to express "I can do it" is "Je peux le faire"?

tomber (être vs avoir)

Hi, seems like the verb tomber most definitely belongs to the set of verbs which can take either auxiliary in the passé composé, depending on their transitive/intransitive usage.

As an example of such a verb, see your very helpful page here:

Monter can be used with avoir or être in Le Passé Composé depending on its meaning in French

Could you please confirm that tomber indeed deserves such a page, and in general remark on whether about 20 other verbs deserve one also (albeit not very commonly used ones?)

Thank you!

"Vous pouvez vous garer ici." In this sentence, why do we use the subject "Vous" twice? Is it incorrect to write it as "Vous pouvez garer ici" ?
