Example soundsElles choisissent leurs robes. --> They're choosing their dresses. When I play the pronunciation for this phrase, it sounds like this: Elles choisissent sa robe. Is it possible that is what is being said, en erreur? Merci.

In the sentence, On est gentils. Gentils is a plural form...why are you using a plural form with "on".

Placement of 'aucun/e' in passé composé

I found this sentence interesting:

Nous n'avons acheté aucune voiture.

Don't both parts of a negation (ne + plus/jamais/que/etc) usually go before the participle?

Finalement vs enfin?

In the context of "nous allons dans le salon et nous pouvons enfin ouvrir nos cadeaux", why is "finalement" marked incorrect? Don't they both have the same meaning?

spoon names and sizesI'm puzzled by you're translating 'teaspoon' as 'une cuillère à café'. Surely it should be 'une cuillère à thé'? I've also heard 'une petite cuillère'. I would expect to reserve 'une cuillère à café' for a coffee spoon, a different, smaller item.

Saying 1515in the spoken response saying "Cette réponse est évidente: c'est évidemment 1515" the speaker seems to say "mille cent cinq quinze". Is that correct or am I miss hearing it. If I'm not miss hearing it, why is it cent cinq and not cinq cent?
