A couple of questions:

En forme et en bonne santé- is this a standard spelling despite the masc noun animal?

I struggle with the passive voice..."par" is supposed to be a signal of it....is "the rules have to be established" a passive voice? Why isn't the answer ....is faut que les règles établissent?

Thanks so much for your help with this

I *think* I understand when to use “avoir besoin de” or “devoir”, but how/where does “falloir” work? (Note: I asked a similar question in the lesson on “falloir”)

I am sorry to raise this, but I am afraid that I found the pronunciation of this phrase very difficult.

Even having seen the answer, I still could not reconcile the two.   "le temps" I managed to translate initially when hearing it as "longtemps", but seeing the correct answer and re-running the sound clip again and again, the closest I could get was "l'eau temps" and certainly not "le temps".

I recognize that there are many different ways of pronouncing things, but I do feel that in a dictation the diction should be clear.

I can't seem to differentiate these two. Please make me understand.

bonjour à tous, J'habite à Cairo en Egypt  

Où habitez vous?

Vous habitez où?

The last line of this exercise is being corrected to say :

La prochaine fois, nous nous nous assurerons d’être mieux préparés. (extra nous)

Instead of saying "Would you like to try it?" I would have said in English, "Would you like to taste it?" The verb try threw me off and I used essayer instead of gouter.

I enjoy these exercises as they give me great practice in writing.
