je souhaiterais visiter

In the audio for “Bonjour, je souhaiterais visiter l'Afrique francophone.” is anyone else hearing instead “Bonjour, je souhaiterais à visiter l'Afrique francophone.”?

Using on instead of nous

Hello,

Would you be able to use the 'on' form of the verb in a sentence such as 'my family and I watch a film - ma famille et moi regarde un film' or would it need to be the nous form - ma famille et moi regardons un film?

Technical problems

After submitting my response, no correction page appeared and I was simply presented with the next phrase or sentence. As a result, I scored zero for my response. You can't go backwards. This happened twice during the exercise. On the second occurrence, I was particularly paying attention to not hitting the submit button a second time as I know this can cause skipping. I could not figure out how to send this to your technical team instead of bothering you.

I am wondering why the correct answer for #9 is the future rather than passé simple, which is what was requested. Thank you.

Question about the word "en"

I've encountered this quiz: translate this sentence: "Marie worked for ten hours yesterday". The answer excludes this option: Marie a travaillé en dix heures hier.

Why can't I use the word "en"? It's mentioned here: En vs Dans with time (French Prepositions of Time)

"En expresses the length of time something takes to be done."

Instances using "ne .... pas de

I thought DE followed the negative. In which case(s) is that true?

etre followed by a preposition always?

The text says "Note that in each case where être is the auxilliary, the verb passer is followed by a preposition (en, sur, dans, à etc.). "

But then we have the example "Elle est passée chez Laurent hier"

Surely "chez laurent" is a noun?
