It seems a few of the hints (la peinture, etc.) were one past the audio extract where they were needed.  Also, I find it unnecessary to correct punctuation, as where a comma should be placed is often not apparent from individual phrases unless you have the entire context.

THe subjunctive form is "nous ne detestions pas" yet in your exercise you have "nous ne  detestons pas" ??

I make up the following, but I can't find the answers online. Are "moi" and "toi" correct here? If yes, is there an explanation why "me" and "te" are not used here?

Give it to me! = Donne le moi!

Give it to you? = Donne le toi?

Give it to him/her! = Donne le lui!

Give it to us! = Donne le nous!

Give it to them! = Donne le leur!

I read in a French magazine:

La nécropole de Chellah, l'un des plus anciens sites du pays.

I would translate this as 'One of the most ancient sites of the country. 

But 'ancien' before the noun means 'former', which would not make sense. Has the addition of 'plus' caused a change in the structure ? So confusing !

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!

'Après avoir considéré de faire peindre le mur' why is "DE" used? is 'considéré de' an expression

'plutôt que de remettre du papier peint' why is there "DE" here too?

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.

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
