This isn't really about the lesson per se, but two English-language books about DeGaulle: Julian Jackson "De Gaulle" & Jonathan Fenby "The General, Charles DeGaulle & the France He Saved" are fascinating character studies & well worth the read.

The man that Churchill once described to FDR as "our mutual headache", c'était vraiment un homme compliqué.

Subjonctif présent versus subjonctif passé

Selon Lawless French dans le petit quiz C-1 que je prends en ce moment, pour « By the time you were ready, the bus had left, » c’est correct dire, « Le temps que tu sois prête, le bus était déjà parti, » mais à mon avis ça devrait être plutôt, « Le temps que tu aies étée prête, le bus était déjà parti.»

Theirs = la leur or les leurs

We don’t know if ‘theirs’ applies to a single car they own or if they both own a car (assuming just two people), because we don’t know the context. So, I’d have thought that ‘les leurs’ is as legitimate an answer as ‘la leur’.

Apparaître either être or avoir

This lessons specifically states that:

To conjugate apparaître in Le Passé Composé (Indicatif), both auxiliaries avoir and être are perfectly valid and interchangeable while the meaning remains the same. In terms of usage, être is used more often than avoir in colloquial speech.

I've seen the comments below about one is used more for appearing, but why is mine wrong?

Position of Derniere and meaning

Last time he came, he didn't behave himself.fois dernièredernière foisprochaine foisfois prochaine
when I did this quiz I was marked incorrect when I chose "fois derniere"
but the lesson says I'm right. Dernier fois means last time as in "final time"?

is the near future in the imperfect the same as the subjective?

is the near future in the imperfect the same as the subjective? To translate something such as I "was/were going to" seems subjective to me.
