Merci pour cette exercise. C’est un bon exemple d’un format d’argument. J’ai beaucoup appris de cela. : )

Hi, I wanted a clarification about how to translate the passive voice. In the example :  « they were welcomed by » in English would be different than « they have been welcomed by ». The first exemple for me : « ils étaient accueillis par » and the second « ils ont été accueilli ». If it is accurate, I had test with translating this first example in French, and after being wrong I was wondering which one was right ?

As an avid English speaker, I struggle with pronunciation when learning French, any recommendations? Royce Bandora, NYC 

I was never good at grammar so it would be helpful if the lessons had a link to the very basics. Like in this lesson, a link to tell a poor grammarian what in heck is the subjuntive ??

In the quick lesson you use the example Ce problème, auquel je ne comprends rien, m'énerve 

Why is it auquel and not duquel ( or de qui) since comprendre is a transitive verb ? What am I missing?

Est- ce qu'on dit " Je voudrais te raconter une expérience que j'ai vécue" ou "Je voulais te raconter une expérience que j'ai vécue 

Hello, is there a way to mark exercises in some way so you could query the marked list, just like we can do with Notebooks for lessons?  I have some dictees and writing exercises to which I want to return, but I don't know how to do that other than writing the names down.  If not, it would be a really nice feature to add.
