Pronunciation of "t" in "C'est à moi"Why does the pronunciation accompanying this lesson not pronounce the "t" in "C'est à moi"? I have another French language program (and a French speaking daughter) which does pronounce it. Is this possibly a regional difference? Which is correct in formal Parisian French?

là-dedans

Bonjour!

in the example “ça ne sent pas la rose là-dedans” is translated as “it smells nasty in here”.  Formerly I had understood “là-dedans” to mean in there.  Is it both or am I just wrong.  Sorry, I know this is getting off on a bit of a bunny trail...

merci d’avance!

J'ai eu peur Vs. J'avais peur

I saw the sentence below in a test:

* J'ai eu peur que nous soyons arrivés trop tard *

Why not J'avais peur que nous soyons arrivés trop tard ?!?!

I believe it should be j'avais because we are describing how scared I was, so we should use Imparfait over passe composé !

Thank you

What is the meaning of "Aurélie n'est qu'allée au marché"? The above is one of the questions in the B1 Kwiz test. I just cannot understand the difference between the answers:- Aurélie only went to the market (and did nothing else) or (and went nowhere else)? I've tried reading the explanation page over and over but I don't see the difference between - and did nothing else and went nowhere else!!! Can someone make it simpler for a simple brain perhaps??

ma belle-mère et mon beau-père

doesn't belle-mère and beau-père also mean mother-in-law and father-in-law? I've never heard of them being the step-parents

"Tout le pays" ou "tous les pays"?

Bonjour!

I have recently seen this sentence in Entre Nous A1 book:

"Je suis guide touristique depuis deux ans...je travaille dans tout le pays !"

The speaker is clearly speaking about "all the countries" here, which is plural. So why not "tous les pays"?
