Cécile goes and takes vs Cécile takesIt seems to me that, at least at the A1/present tense level here, this exercise might best be reworded to say "Cécile takes their order" - this is in the present. I am not sure there is any benefit in this exercise to using "goes and takes".
Using "Cécile goes and takes", while present tense, is really one action (taking the order), however the "goes" and that the acceptable answer uses "va prendre", to me anyway, implies near future tense, which is beyond the scope of this exercise it seems.
If the intent is to use near future, then use "Cécile will go and take their order", but that does not make sense for this exercise.
Based on other comments, it seems others have similar issues.
Similarly, on the last sentence, the answer seems to match the actual text, using "faire" instead of the text in the hint, which would imply using "prendre". I might recommend just deleting the hint.
Hi, with reference to “les Belges brassent près de huit cent variétés de bière ?”, “les Belges brassent près de huit-cent sortes de bière ?”, and “les Belges brassent près de 800 types de bière ?”.
I thought that it was not correct to capitalise “les belges”?
Could the following phrase given above:
Merci à Léa et Julie, sans l'aide desquelles rien n'aurait été possible
also be phrased as:
Merci à Léa et Julie, sans desquelles rien n'aurait pu etre possible
In an exercise - Pauline s'habille de plus en plus élégamment.
Why is the 2nd "s" not pronounced as a "z" - given that the word following starts with an é ?
I have been studying the rules and just did a quiz on this.

Why is the answer to this: Sarah ________ la salade à Michel.
se passe as opposed to passe?
Isn't this a simple act of passing something, as in the first example, "passer quelque chose"? I understood that it only needed the reflexive pronoun for something happening or someone doing without something. Can you enlighten me?
Thanks.
And of course the poor old “domestique”. Don’t forget them! They make up an important part of the “coureur cyclistes” in the Tour and do lots of the tough work for their more glamorous team-mates but don’t get any of the glory. Thanks for the list.

'Certain adverbs of time and manner can both be AT THE END or AT THE START of the sentence' - no, they can be used 'either at the end or at the start'. You are confusing 'both/and' with 'either/or'.
I would like a list of adjectives that change their meaning when placed before or after nouns
La traduction de " students were welcomed by..." n' est-elle pas "furent accueillis" au lieu de "ont été accueillis" ?
Why is the definite article not excluded from:
J'ai peur des araignées. just as it is excluded from the verbal phrase:
J'ai besoin de farine. or even : J'ai besoin d'araignées
It seems inconsistent. Is it?
