Dernière foisI got this wrong: "C'était la dernière fois que tu m'as dit que tu m'aimais." means: Mauvais: It was last time that you told me you loved me. Correcte: It was the last time you told me you loved me Was it the last of several times and in that last time 'tu m'a dit que tu m'aimais.' Or... Was it the last time (of several times 'tu m'a dit que tu m'aimais') ? The former implies something like 'in our last meeting you told me you loved me.' The latter implies the final time you told me you love me (and you have not since) Me me suis perplexe.

Futur antérieurOut of interest is pour still correct usage with the futur antérieur, or may only pendant be used? D’ici là j’aurai parlé pour 45 minutes. (???) By then I will have spoken for 45 minutes. D’ici là j’aurai parlé pendant 45 minutes. By then I will have spoken for 45 minutes.

Title It seems that the title of this lesson is incorrect, I believe it should read: "Adjectives ending in -s or -x change in the plural forms only when feminine" : )

Can these sentences also be translated as ought?e.g. Je devrais apprendre le français = i should or ought to learn french? In English ought is stronger than should, but in french, how would you distinguish them if at all?

tôt vs en avance

There is nothing in the question, or in the Quick Lesson, that indicates that the phrase " tôt" is incorrect. There is no context, so BOTH/EITHER answer(s) must be correct. Annoying.

Instead of What?At the top of the page, you write, "If "it is" is followed by un/une/le/la...(any form of article / determinant) - it is a beautiful dress - then you will use c'est instead". Instead of what? I don't understand. Thanks. Pauline
