The phrase in English was "I will introduce her to Amelie" (sorry I don't have accents). The translation given is je lui presenterai Amelie which I take to mean "I will introduce Amelie to her". Should it not be "je la presenterai a Amelie"?
"... notre équipe allie savoir-faire professionnel et pédagogie bienveillante." Why no definite articles for savoir-faire and pédagogie ? Is this simply the result of the informality of an advertisement? Thanks.
The Kwiz linked to this lesson had the question: "Ce jour-là, Marie découvrit la vérité"
It seems a bit illogical to class découvrir as a regular -ir verb, because it isn’t one in the present (even if it behaves as such in the passé simple).
It would be so helpful if we could slow down the reading of the test and to repeat a phrase
As I understand it, dans can also be used when the sentence implies a future action but not duration?
Minor typo:
“And you, do you like the sea?”
“Et vous, est-ce-que vous aimez la mer ?”
[est-ce-que -> est-ce que]
Pourquoi on utilise le subjonctive avec cette phrase:
Ce sont les meilleures vacances qu'elle ait passées !

Therefore, Le Mode Indicatif can only be used in such cases where the sentence refers to established true facts or statements.
Is it possible to use "garder [le] secret" ? English is not my native language, I'm russian.
I feel that this is an ambiguous statement and could be passé composé (as the act of transition) or l'imparfait (as a state of being). As in "My mother was Oriental, but my father came from Europe" vs. "They came from Europe to go to the funeral". Compare: "Once upon a time, a king lived in his castle."
