Why was this marked incorrect for "I am five minutes late" ? According to the lecture, can use either "Je suis en retard" (de 5 minutes) or "J'ai (5 minutes) de retard"

"Mathilde a rentré la voiture avant qu'il ne pleuve"

Would someone be able to explain the need for the ne in that sentence? Or link to the lesson that explains it? I'm stumped.

(it was translated as "Mathilde put the car away before it rained.")

"Apres" without "que"Sorry, it appears the "more detail" part didn't post! I was wondering under what circumstances you could omit "que" and still use "apres." "Je me lave apres tu te leves" sounds wrong, or at least awkward, but what about "Tu te leves, et apres, je me lave?"

Pour le mariage

The English text did not say it was “for the wedding” (for the last thing to translate). Nowhere in the text was there any mention of a wedding. So why did the last sentence have “pour le mariage” added to the end?

This is a comment, not a question: To me, the construction "go and ... " sounds like the person speaking is poorly educated.

The "and" is superfluous to the meaning. In my experience, I have only heard it from people (some of them my relatives, malheureusement!) who have not graduated from high school, or who are deliberately trying to sound uneducated. Moreover, they usually slur the "and" so that it sounds like "... go 'n' visit ... "We'll go visit the Eiffel Tower when we're in Paris" sounds just fine to my ear, much better without the "and".
