Hello, If I take a subscription, which I would use at the later beginner/early intermediate level, could my husband use a Beginner strand of the program on the same subscription? Or must we each buy a subscription? Does anyone have experience with this?

Why is "Merci de m'avoir aidé aujourd'hui, c'était super !" not translated as "Thank you for having helped me today" It’s not the same thing as ‘thank you for helping me’ – or is it?

I was marked wrong for soyez parti (singular). Couldn't the "vous" refer to a singular person where past participle would be parti without an s?   What am I not seeing here? 

I don’t get the nuance of ‘J’arrive dans 10 minutes’.  'I arrive in 10 minutes' is the same, to me, as saying ‘I will arrive in 10 minutes.   

In the test, I got the following question

"Elle a mangé tout le gâteau !" means:

- She is eating all the cake!

- She ate all the cake!

- She is going to eat all the cake!

- She has eaten all the cake!

- She had eaten eat all the cake!

Could you please explain why we you believe 'she has eaten all the cake' is correct but not 'she had eaten all the cake'? How would we say she had eaten all the cake in French and why is this not passé composé?

The stone question was not easy. How would one say "Stone collection" or " Pierre's Stone collection"?

Thank you, Di

pourquoi on utilise 'règnent' ici, pas 'règne' ?
