Can someone explain why I answered this incorrectly? I answered "nous sommes brossés" and it told me that the correct answer is "nous sommes brossé". The rule quite clearly states that the past participle should be modified to agree in number and gender though. We is inherently plural, so shouldn't an "s" be added to the end? Or am I missing something here?
In the third line of the dialog, if using inversion "Savez-vous à quelle heure nous atterrissons?", the audio in the exercise has several extra words that do not match the text.

-> Please ignore this question, I can't delete it now, I think it's actually "le meilleur roman qui" which means the subjunctive is used in this context. Does that sound like the correct answer ?
Je manque toujours les point d'exclamation. Il y a un règlement sur le sujet? Comment peut-on savoir pendant la dictée, si un point d'exclamation est nécessaire? On peut entendre un ton dans la voix?
I realize this has come up before but it doesn’t seem there’s been a satisfactory answer yet: Why is only “On peut toujours trouver plus fort que soi” and not also “On peut toujours trouver plus fort que soi-même” correct?
why this is marked incorrectly
Je suis arrivé dans cinq minutes." I'll be there in five minutes
while this is given in lesson
Je suis là dans deux secondes !I'll be there in two seconds!
He had 83 years (he died at 83 years old).

Is it a fault at recording. just wanted to point out.
