Is there a difference in meaning between "il devait faire qqc" and "il aurait dû faire qqc"?
Isn't "après-midi" masculine, and if so should it not be:
cet après-midi sera consacré
The clues are very confusing. Why write U.S. right away as a clue. I thought that was what the interlocutor actually said. So although I wrote tout de suite initially I corrected it given the clue.

I have been trying to understand what “fixerent” means/where it comes from (please excuse lack of accents in my question). At first I thought the translation should be the two dogs stare or are staring at each other.I then found a conjugation table and found “fixerent” (with the accent over the e) is passé simple.I have only just been moved up to “B2” level on Kwiziq but I don’t understand how the passé simple is used and so don’t follow it’s use within this lesson.Why is it not passé compose using etre?Thanks for your assistance.
in this example, two questions:
Ce sont les meilleures vacances qu'elle ait passées!
1. why "ce" instead of "ces", if vacances is plural?
2. why pasées instead of passée, if the noun is singular and avoir doesn't match in number?
For example : Can « Ainsi le nom » mean « that’s why the name.»?
How do know when to use these before the season?
Why do I see people say "Quel/Quelle est la/le ........?" but in this exercise it is mark wrong?
