Hello,
I hear a rhotic r sound in majestueuse. Is this a regional difference in accent?
Thank you
In this example - Le temps que nous arrivions, mon avion était déjà parti !
Why is it not - "Le temps que nous soyons arrivés..." because it means By the time we arrived... Why Subjonctif Passé is not used?
The first sentence, "il faut vraiment que l'on discute de ta mère" is the contraction l'on for "le" or "la" ? I still don't get why it is even needed. Would it not work to say, "...qu'on disute de ta mère" which then maps to English as "that we discuss about your mother".
I'm guessing that it's a direct object pronoun, but then why isn't "de ta mére" the object of the sentence?
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?
"It is green" still gets "il est vert" marked wrong, despite the fact that it appears to refer to a specific item (as opposed to using "c'est vert," the preferred answer, which would indicate something more general--despite no indication of such in the sentence). Tired of having my score set back (I had to use up most of my free quizzes for the month to make up for this). Please fix. Would also be nice to have the "report it" button on the page that people seem to say exists but which I have never seen.

Aujourd’hui, quel âge avez-vous?
Somehow I lost the test. But, you said that question number three was partially right because I didn't put "je" before "te" and my answer. But as I saw it the "je" was already printed so there was no need for me to repeat it. Am I right or wrong?
