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?

How to add accents on lineHow can one add the necessary French accents to the written questions on the quizzes? I'm using a PC and it's too cumbersome to do it in Word and cut/paste.

Why does the plural 'our heads' translate as the singular 'la tête' ?

In the example below, taken from the lesson, could you please explain why la tête is in the singular when translating 'our heads' which is in the plural.

Nous nous grattons la tête ... We're scratching our heads

Thank you

Agreement of Participle with Indirect Object

Whoops, my question was posted incomplete.

As I was saying (!), in the examples there is agreement between the indirect object and the participle:

La télé? Oui, Marc l'a regardée

Ces épisodes? Il les avait déjà vus

If this is the case, then shouldn't 'Tu lui as parlé' translate as 'You talked to him', BUT 'Tu lui as parlée translate as 'You talked to her'?

Espérer et le subjonctif

It thought that that espérer was followed by the future tense when stated affirmatively, and was followed by the subjunctive tense when espérer when stated as a question or in the negative. Yet, in the writing practice, the following is presented as the correct way to use espérer:

Espérons que cela se rafraichisse dans les jours qui viennent.

Why when that is an affirmative statement? Why isn't this correct?: "Espérons que cela se rafraichira"

When do you use en vs the definite article?

This lesson states you use either en or l' ; but it does not provide any rules for usage.

Are they interchangable? Can I use either to say "In winter, I go skiing."
En hiver, je vais skier.
L'hiver, je vais skier.

Cet exercice est vraiment excellent! Particulierement les traductions pour chaque phrase! Mais ce que je ne comprends pas c'est pourquoi on a dit ,"

'le cote droit' mais le mur de droite (avec un 'e' bien que le mur est un nom masculin)?. Pardonnez maid le keyboard n'a pas d'accents francais.

Can you please give an example of when to use the reflexive version?

"j'ai aperçu" versus "je me suis aperçu"

Is it the difference in just passively "seeing" something and actively "noticing" or what else??
