In the first sentence, there is "Baccaulauréat" in the answer, but the clue is "Baccalauréat."  

I am also unsure about the use of the singular "siècle" in the last sentence since you do not have "siècle" after XVIIIe.  Shouldn't the English be "Between the end of the 18th and middle of the 19th Centuries."?  or "Between the end of the 18th Century and the middle of the 19th Century."? 

Alexandre is a proper noun, so shortening it to "qu'Alexandre" is optional and not necessary. Yet I got marked wrong for writing "n'a embrassé que Alexandre"

Hello. Can you please explain why is le passé composé used in the first sentence?

"Mon frère et moi avons toujours aimé les jeux vidéos."

I thought this should be in l'imparfait because it describes a habit in the past and not something that just happened for a day, no?

Are there translations (French into English) available for the listening/dictation exercises?  Where would I find them?  I use this to test/practice my listen comprehension as well. 

Why do you use translations in the full text playback that are not the translations said to be the best when providing feedback on the student-submitted translations?  Are they perhaps the ones used most by native speakers.

The sentence to be translated :

There are also many options to explore Nantes…….

The correct answer is given as:

Il y a de nombreuses options pour explorer Nantes….

There is no translation of also and my use of aussi was crossed out as incorrect.

At the beginning of the lesson, it is written that "En, au and aux" are used for countries, which I'm fine with, but later on it also says that "En, dans la and dans l' " are also to be used with countries. (Regions, states and countries) My question is, if I wanna say that I'm going to a musculine country and I have both Dans le / Dans l' and Au, which one do I use? I'm so confused!

"Elle veut que tu fasses la grasse matinée demain matin."

l'homme avec un couteau qui était tapi derrière le fauteuil familier de la femme / the man with a knife who was crouching behind the woman's familiar armchair

An alternative correct answer to the above was "...qui tapissait derrière..."

In that case, shouldn't (my answer) "...qui s'accroupissait derrière...' also be acceptable? 

If you don't know the person, how can you use te; si vous ne connaissez pas cette personne, comment peut-on utiliser te?
