Saying 1515in the spoken response saying "Cette réponse est évidente: c'est évidemment 1515" the speaker seems to say "mille cent cinq quinze". Is that correct or am I miss hearing it. If I'm not miss hearing it, why is it cent cinq and not cinq cent?

Pronunciation of final 'e' in feminineIn the recording examples of feminine endings which are said not to sound different almost all the feminine words are given a distinct (if very short) '-yuh' sound at the end. Is this purely to add emphasis or because they are ending a sentence, or is it actually a different sound?

Le futur anterieur

I've always been confused by this: "j'aurai du" translates as "I should have" and not as "I will have had to...." but these are not quite the same, I think. "I will have had to catch the 22 bus" suggests that I did catch that particular bus, to achieve whatever, whereas "I should have" suggests that I didn't catch that bus, and perhaps failed in my intention. Similarly for "j'aurai pu" - "I could have" not "I will have been able".

Any advice/explanation appreciated!
