Avoir - get vs. have un permit de conduire

In the example:

Il faut qu'ils aient leur permis de conduire.
They must get their driving licence.

Avoir us used here similarly to "avoir un exam". Here it means they must 'obtain' their driver's license.

But how would you say: "They must have their driver's license (with them)"?

Context might be one way, but if 'they' was ambiguous, the imperative sentence would be ambiguous.

Get recommended lessons by levelMy placement test put me at A2. I've been taking an A2 test, back to A0, then A1, and finally another A2. I'm not worried about A0 or A1 but I'd like to be able to take a look at what Kwiziq recommends for me in A2 before I take the last test. Unfortunately you seem to only get recommendations after you take a test (even though I know darn well Kwiziq is tracking me at every level.)

Imparfait vs passé composé"Même si j'ai parfois hésité",... should this be imparfait since it is a case of a repeated action. It seems that the word parfois indicates it was more than a single hesitation.

I'm just not getting the pronunciation of cueillir and the derivatives. The "ill" disappears.

Where "on" refers to " we" as a specific group of people, should it not be "verrons" rather than "Verra"
