In the fill-in-the-blanks piece associated with the music vocabulary, reference was made to « faire un carton » - to be a hit, so I looked into what the opposite of this would be and « faire un bide » - to be a flop. Useful vocabulary to add to the list ?

Can you explain why you can put bien meilleure after the noun? I know that meilleur always goes before the noun, but I did'nt realise that it could go after the noun when used with bien. Why is that?

It says to use MIEUX for a general statement with être about something or someone being fine/OK/better/the best. 

Can we say.... "C'est la mieux idée." ? [This/It is the best idea.]

Why/Why not?

In the list of words to be familiar with at the beginning of this exercise, "nutmeg" (the last word given) is included for some reason.

How would you say "someone hadn't lived there since [insert year]"

I notice all the examples in this section refer to "ne pas". Can other negatives like rien and jamais be used?

I wront

qui s'asseyeront ensuite...Is it fine?

Merci

I am looking at this sentence - 'la procédure d'adoption s'est avérée encore plus éprouvante que nous l'avions envisagé' - and wondering why 'envisagé' doesn't agree with the 'l' that comes before it - assuming that pronoun is feminine because it refers back to 'la procédure'...?

I listened to that first sentence time and time again and I really cannot hear "Sarah", really sounds like "Ça va".
