Is it usual in French to use “parfum” to describe the taste of food? Or is the speaker describing the smell of the food? If the speaker is speaking of the good smell of food, is this a usual expression concerning food as well?
The lesson on professions and pronouns says that when an adjective is used a pronoun is needed.
So would : "Catherine, une ancienne prof de philo"

Just wondering why these exercises aren't marked automatically. I think the whole thing would flow much better if we could go straight from one section to the next.
I have not been able to get my arms around when to use "test", "interrogation", "contrôle", or "examen". I gather that "examen" is for a more comprehensive test or a performance assessment, like a driving test, but the usage doesn't seem consistent. Terms like "Examen finale", "quiz pop" & "mi-parcours" are pretty easy to figure out because they're so specific, but the more generic "test" situation is a little unclear.

Jai laissez la petite jouer avec les santons, mais l enfant est un garcon , son fils, donc ne cest pas " le petit" ? oU est ce que un phrase la petite peu importe cest un garcon ou une fille ?
I thought that "Je vais appeller mon agent de voyage demain" would convey a more immediate sense of will call v/s "J'appellerai ...". Or is it the "demain" that makes it more correct to use the Futur mode?
