Text correctionHi, in the exercise step-through there is the option “et j’ai cru que c’était une plaisanterie de la part mes copains”. I believe this should be “et j’ai cru que c’était une plaisanterie de la part de mes copains”. The corresponding audio would also need checking.

English: people don’t usually kiss themselves!

Comment: This may be grammatically correct in French, but in English, if you say that two people are ‘kissing themselves’, that would literally mean that each of them is kissing their OWN bodies (or parts of), And of course, this would be bizarre.

Possessive adjectives

The detail says to use Mon, ma or mes but the first to examples use son, sa, ses. Why is that?

Et elle sait chanter? Why not "Et elle peut chanter"?

The English sentence says "She can sing", not "She knows how to sing". I know how to sing but I can't sing because my voice is terrible. Can all French people (or Quebecoise) who know how to sing, actually sing???

Voix passive or PQPF?

Under “nous avons pu réinvestir les dons qui nous étaient parvenus”, the “voix passive” lesson is listed beneath it, and not the “plus que parfait” lesson.

But isn’t it that case that this line is an example of plus que parfait, and not of voix passive?

This may seem like splitting hairs, but I find the listed lessons very useful even just from their titles, to guide my understanding of the grammar.
