au coin de by / nearBonjour Aurélie ou Gruff, Alors, j'ai appris qu' «au coin de» traduit comme «at the corner of», mais dans cette leçon-ci la traduction est «by/near». Je ne peux pas trouver cette traduction dans le Collins-Robert. Pourriez-vous me donner l'explication? Merci, Ron

Après que + l'indicatifJust a thought. After “ Après que“, you use an indicative tense. Since the 1st, 2nd and 3rd person singular for “réussir“ is the same for both the present tense and the simple past tense. These two tenses are both indicative tenses, one present tense and the other past tense. Could “J'étais soulagée après que tu réussis ton exam“ also be considered a correct answer in this example?

LiaisonsIn the pronunciations for this lesson there don”t appear to be any liaisons between the est and the à. For example “c’est à moi” “sont à elles” we can”t hear the letter t. Is it wrong in these cases not to liaise?
