il y a une semaine, j'ai vu un film. Is this the typical way of saying this. In English, we would typically reverse the order-I saw a film a week ago

Could be clearer?The lesson doesn't highlight the point that you can swap clauses around - so e.g. start with conditional, then go to imperfect or v.v. Whichever way though, what changes is the position of 'si' and hence if you are using the imperfect as first or second verb.

Mal à l’oreille où mal aux oreille?

This is in the lesson examples:

Sophie a mal à l'oreille.Sophie's ear aches.
Sophie has an earache

But when I entered « Aurélie a mal à l’oreille » as the quiz answer it said I was wrong and should have answered « Aurélie a mal aux oreilles ». Which version is actually correct?

I wasn't sure at the end if this lesson the advantages of using one or the other ...... and having just been asked a question on it I left the question and found the answer was the one with qui .... qui which looked the most confusing of the answers and the one I certainly wouldn't have chosen :)

Would you use faire exprès to mean deliberately as those seem synonymous in English?
