J’ai traduit le mot, ’squint’, par ’loucher’ au lieu de ’plisser les yeux’. Le dictionnaire cite tous les deux comme acceptable, mais l’exercice accepte seulement le deuxième. Pourquoi ?
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.

If 'Je suis monté en voiture' means 'I got into the car', how does one say (if visiting someone on a hill and they asks how you got there) 'I came up by car ?
Surely that is also 'Je suis monté en voiture'.....
Can I also say - Qu’y mettez-vous? [What do you put there?]
From the answers I see to this question in this discussion, we are expected to look through something like 1200 verb conjugations to find which ones fit this category. Even on the Lawless site for Irregular ir verbs, it lists the irregular ir verbs, but only one that changes in the future to an er verb conjugation. Where can one get a simple list of the ir verbs that change to er verb conjugations in the future tense?
This was a great exercise. Just wanted to flag that sometimes after submitting responses, no corrections displayed and I was therefore unable to mark myself.
If a tangerine is "une mandarine" in French, as per this lesson, what is a mandarin in French? Is it "une tangerine"? (which would be quite confusing to English speakers)
Why does the text switch from imparfait to passé composé here:
Nous étions vraiment désolés. Nous nous sommes excusés
Is there a difference in the pronunciation when pas grand-chose is used on its own? As I can see in the examples given in this lesson - everywhere 'chose' is being pronounced as SHO-Z, with a z sound in the end, except in this example -
Tu as fait quoi ce weekend ? - Pas grand-chose.
It is just pronounced as SHO without z sound?
