In the green grammar box above,

the way the explanation is written suggests you are talking about more than one pronoun – not just ‘me-moi’.  Are there others?

 

i.e. 2- THEY are placed after the verb………

I was a bit surprised to see that champion is still gendered (championne). In daily speech I almost never hear championne used to refrer to a woman.

Other usageThe Other Usage box seems to just repeat what is in the box above it, but it seems like its supposed to point out some other usage.

Lesson discussionsI thought "Discuss this lesson" is a discussion about "this" lesson or "this" topis specifically. But it seems to point to the same discussion thread whichever lesson I'm at. Am I missing something?

These constructions are REALLY difficult. I would have to use them daily for weeks to keep them straight. The quiz needs many more questions imo.

Vous êtes arriv________ en retard.

How can "vous êtes arriv________ en retard" ever be "Vous êtes arrivé or arrivée en retard". It can surely only be "vous êtes arrivés" or "vous êtes arrivées en retard"??

In the recording I don't hear this phrase at all: " Les hommes mettent la table,"I didn't catch what he said instead, but it was something about TV.

Why could I not use " ne point" for the negative "not at all" instead of "pas du tout"?

Hi, I initially wrote "j’ai ouvert la porte" but the last syllable of ouvert seemed to be held a really long time, almost like ouvert à la porte.

I knew that making it imperfect and adding the "à" didn’t make sense but…. Too funny  

Is that pronunciation common?

Thanks, K
