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. 

Hi! Thanks for the exercise! The audio for ¨traverse le village¨ sounds very much like ¨traverse sur le village¨ - or maybe it just sounds like that to me.

Also, the ¨le maire¨ hint, I think, belongs on the audio section before where it is currently located.

Hello,

I just started B2 and I had a hard time understanding a lot of this. I'm wondering if I should go back to a B1 level for awhile. Please let me know whether this is normal.

Thank you

After trying this exercise several times in the past few weeks, I'm still trying to figure out 

1) why "They stayed there to watch..."  is "Elles sont restées..." instead of "Elles y sont restées.."  Is "there" implied and therefore the "y" is unnecessary?

2) why s'approcher is used in the instance of the people approaching the fence while approcher is used in the horses timid approach. Both connote gradually moving closer, don't they?

I don't know if this was just a glitch, but during the exercise in the acceptable answers for "I made my pumpkin pie", the option audio says "J'ai fait ma tarte à la citrouille" but the option text says "J'ai fait ma tarte à citrouille". The text at the end of the exercise under "Here's the full text for you to read and listen to:" is correct.

To stay at a hotel should be dormir à l'hôtel.

How do you determine which conjugated form of the verb do you use in sentences such as "Jean et moi sommes allés au cinéma.".  It appears the conjugated form of the verb with nous has been used. I cannot understand why this is.

Is the word “alors” necessary in the “a alors demandé Martine”? 

I used avoir + monte because in the notes it says this means - to go up, but the answer uses etre.  Please can someone help me with this?  Many thanks, as always!

J'ai besoin de supplementaire information sur l'usage de "en tant que". Remercie de votre assistance.
