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.

"Ça m'a pris une heure pour faire qch"
Thank you in advance
Considering the general tendency to drop ne in spoken French, could it also be omitted in the examples used in the lesson? For example, would the sentence « Tu as peur qu’il parte » still make sense? Is it grammatically incorrect without the ne or does its meaning change when ne is dropped?
In example
Why venions? Subjunctive?
