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.
Je ne comprends pas pourquoi on dit ton actrice mais on dit ta mère.
Are there stressed pronouns for "us/they"?
How does "il s'en souvient" work out in third person plural? Would it be "ils s'en souviennent"? And, if so, would the pronunciation be the same.
The two answers so far have differing advice. Could Cécile comment please?
Laura Lawless’s explanation seems to accord with Alan’s - se parler is one of "20 verbs for which the reflexive pronoun is always an indirect object" (That is, they’re talking to each other, not talking each other, and parlé is invariable.)

Rather than using "je dois aussi acheter...," I used "il faut que j'aussi achète...." It marked me incorrect and didn't have my translation as an option. Is mine actually wrong?
I'm adding into what Avery said about how this grammar point could use some clarification, as I find this one particularly confusing as well. Thank you Avery!
It's unclear that some activities can be referred to by both faire and jouer. I only figured this out because I got dinged on a test for not knowing that basketball is one of these. I do see that the examples show this, but an explicit explanation would be nice. Or a list of common activities and whether they are faire or jouer would be helpful.
The section on faire de la danse vs danser could be clarified a bit more too. There are gray sentences for the example English phrases, but they aren't translated into French. I can't see how the sentences in French would be built without making my own guesses.
Thanks guys!
I gave the answer "ne soit" but the correct answer is "n'y ait". Also in the examples there are egs of both avoir and être in the subjunctive but I don't understand what is governing the choice. Also what does the "y" signify in the answer?
Hello. Why doesn’t délicieux agree with la fondue suisse? I heard the correct pronunciation in the dictation, but I thought I must have been mistaken, so I wrote délicieuse.
