ce gars parle trop vite!

I have never seen "merci pour". From my knowledge, merci or remerci is followed by "de". Please provide further explanation on this topic or Is there a lesson on this within Kwizqi? 

Est-ce que la phrase "à ces heures" a un sens?  Merci.

I could not find any lesson explaining the numbers from 0 to 69. 

Am I missing something ?

I see that the preferred translation for 'my thirst for reading' is 'ma soif de lecture' but I don't see how this relates to article use. She has a thirst for reading in general / the idea of reading. If she had 'an enthusiasm for reading' it would surely be 'un enthousiasme pour la lecture'. What am I missing?

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?

According to https://www.lawlessfrench.com/subjunctivisor/considerer/ this should not be subjunctive.  (Strictly speaking)

I am presuming the use of subjunctive here is that the speaker is willing to allow some doubt into her suggestion ? I.e. that She accepts her opinion may not be correct, or that the point is debatable ?

Paul.

-> 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 ?

"We listened to the water".

I would have considered that a past imperfect ie, "Nous ecoutions les bruits de l'eau" because you can't listen to water at a specific moment in time - it's a continuous action in the past. "Nous avons ecoute les bruits de l'eau" isn't appropriate. 

We got splashed with water would be passe compose but not a continuous event of listening to the water?

Suggestions please....

The lessons says to use either. Where is the explanation/lesson details? 

So in this lesson, I was studying this sentence: “Pour calmer mes enfants, je leur lis une histoire.” I also remembered that lui/leur is only used when a verb goes with “à”, like “Je téléphone à mon frère” —> “Je lui téléphone.” So is this grammatically correct? “Pour calmer mes enfants, je leur lis une histoire.” —> “Je lis une histoire à mes enfants pour leur calmer.”
