In the sentence,"Selon les témoins que j'ai interviewés, et aussi incroyable que cela paraisse, un hélicoptère se serait posé dans la cour de promenade de la prison et La Fuite serait monté à bord avant qu'il ne redécolle, tout ça en quelques minutes à peine !", I don't understand the use of the present tense of redécoller when we are discussing something that happened in the past in particular when it is preceded by two past perfect verbs, se poser and monter. Also, why is ne inserted before redécoller?
As I understand it, dans can also be used when the sentence implies a future action but not duration?
Is it correct to say le parapliue est sur la table
I notice all the examples in this section refer to "ne pas". Can other negatives like rien and jamais be used?
I selected nationality with Capital letter, but it says I selected lower case
Can you have "je courrai sur le tapis roulant pour une demie heure" because its the future tense?
The text reads “Tant mieux, car je n'ai même pas encore commencé à râper le fromage”, but there’s no “même” spoken in the audio (Cécile has confirmed this to be the case in the Q&A).
The text just needs a small correction.
