Can someone clarify why is it that "elle m'a embrassé" is using avoir as the auxiliary and not être? By this logic, I don't understand why "Aurélie s'est disputée avec sa soeur" is reflexive, as the direct object would be the sister? 

The audio for WC sounds like “VC” instead of “double VC”. Is this an error, or is it in fact how it is said in that context in France?

Is there a rule about using hyphens with 'et un' when added to thirty, etc.?

Thanks!

Hi can you please explain the usage difference between the two? A challenge in sports vs intellectual. Someone likes a challenge …. To challenger yourself not necessarily physically. Are these verbs interchangeable as synonyms? Is one more common than the other? 

Hi,

I think this lesson needs to be updated.

Because I learned in another lesson that: (Venir de/d'/du/des = To come/be from with countries/states/regions and continents (French Prepositions)):

De + feminine countries/states/regions

Du + masculine countries/states/regions

In this lesson, you only mention "de," which confuses me a lot at first to see all the examples are used with only "de". I had to cross-check between two lessons to see if I was understanding correctly.

If I'm wrong, please pardon me.

Have a nice day.

Could you have "Vous nous accompagnerez la prochaine fois"? as well as "Vous viendrez avec nous.."?

Thanks

I wrote á chaque soirs Elle lui raconte un histoire. To mean every night she told him a story and got it wrong in the quiz .and the acceptable answer was: Tous les soirs, Elle raconte un histoire.  Doesn’t á chaque soirs also mean every night?

In “en espérant que je ne me rende pas compte de son absence.”

We have “rendre” in the subjunctive as “rende”. This has been triggered by “espérer que”. But I thought that an affirmative use of “espérer que” would use the Indicative as opposed to the Subjunctive. I don’t know what additional implication the use of the gerund has though…
