1. Why is the tense different if you use "dès que" vs "aussitôt que"? In the text: Dès que nous étions rentrés de l'école (PC) Vs Aussitôt que nous étions de retour (Imparfait)?

2. Couldn't one say "Entre tous les joeux..." instead of parmi or de? Or is it "entre" only used when referring to two things (like between vs among)?

C'est dommage de ne pas avoir de questions de compréhension pour la lecture et l'écoute... 

Elle a lu jusqu'à finir le livre. Is jusqu'à+ infinitive form of verb a correct expression. Should this sentence not be with ce que.

Hunting through the comments, it appears there was a change mentioned 11 months ago, but Joseph's answer was not actually included and I wonder if the general grammar rule may have been deleted when the exception about Indicatif was added?

Celine's answer to John 3 years ago has some explanation of present tense vs. passé composé, but there is nothing like this in the actual lesson itself.

I stopped reading halfway through the many comments as it appears many other users have also previously felt the lesson did not have an adequate explanation...

Why are dashes included in transcriptions and why does Kwizbot detect the omission as being incorrect ? For example: I wrote "Et moi, je m'appelle Amina et je suis algérienne". Kwizbot detected my sentence as incorrect because it was missing the preceding dash: "- Et moi, ....". Of course, I gave myself 5 stars, but it's quite annoying to not receive a match in these cases. I hope this question makes sense.

Bonjour!

Can we reframe this sentence as "Je ne connais pas personne en dehors de mon petit cercle d'amis."?

Merci

This sentence is in the past tense, but why didn't we use subjonctif passe?

Hi,

In the above examples, the je/tu/il/elle/on conjugations sometimes use plaî--- and sometimes use plai---. Is this an oversight or is it intentional?

Thank you.

So, the first verb aller conjugates as normal, but the second verb does not conjugate, but remains in its original form?
