m'endormeMa mère me berçait dans ses bras jusqu'à ce que je m'endorme. This sentence confuses me. What tense is m'endorme? Is that present tense? Why is it present tense here? Shouldn't it be l'imparfait as well? Merci.

Use of "en" to indicate "it" - one of something.I've become comfortable thinking of "en" as "some" or "some of them" as in your example "Il m'en a offert." But it's use as "it" in "Elle leur en a parlé" is throwing me. Why "en" and not "Elle la/le leur a parlé" ?

Other types of "Si" clausesI'm looking for further information on the other types of "Si" clauses. L'imparfait+conditionnel is just one type. What about "Si" clauses that are placed in the past--e.g. "If you had studied harder, you would have passed the test". Another type: "If you're able, come visit me."

translation

The translation given for "Ta voiture est petite. - Oui, mais c'est petit dans mon garage.""Your car is small. - Yes, but my garage is small."

The second sentence seems like it should be the car that is small in the garage. Is the translation correct?

Spaced repetitionIs there going to be a spaced repetition feature included on this website? I find that is very useful with e.g. flash cards and duolingo to help solidify concepts in your repertoire.

Test scoresI've been trying to reach a "confidence" level of 90% at C1 level. I got to 89.9%, took 2 further C1 tests and got 100% on each, but my level slipped back to 89.6%. How's that?
