“...puis elle a repris sa lecture”

Is it correct to also say “puis elle a repris a lire” ? “Then she resumed her reading” . Sorry, can’t type accents.

fruit singular/plural

This was fun, made me hungry.

Why are the fruit in : "les sorbets au citron et à la fraise" singular, while in the pie "aux framboises" they are plural?

Are there any specifications in futur proche.

Are there any specifications in futur proche. For example, in passé compose when conjugated with être, if the sujet is feminin then we have to add an “e” to the passé form of the verb

(Suggestion, not question) I wander if there would be some exercises of this reading comprehension?It is a good material and I hope it would be counted in my "exercise record", so I can come back to this page to see my improvement throughout the time. When it is listed in my "exercise record", I will feel rewarded.

Why use synonyms in transcript vs what is actually stated?

There are two examples of synonyms being used in the transcript, instead of the exact words articulated in the video:

1) À quoi ça sert de "recycler" ses déchets? À quoi ça sert de "trier" ses déchets?

2) Sans doute, mais c'est "quand" même très utile. Sans doute, mais c'est "tout" même très utile.

Rousse masculine or feminine"What is the gender of the person talking? "Je suis rousse.""

My answer was "ambiguous".

The corrent answer is "feminine". I don't get it. If the question refers to the people of Russia, I thought that was "russe", the same in both the feminine and the masculine.

Bad hint?In today's A2 writing exercise: https://progress.lawlessfrench.com/my-languages/french/exercises/overview/160?utm_source=blk&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=msg_448551You give the hint: Use "faire la connaissance de" = to get acquainted with. But it is counted wrong. I wrote "et ses griffes ont deja fait la connaissance de notre canape. And "la" and "de" are crossed out and "de" replaced with "avec". -- Either the hint is wrong, our the correction is wrong. N'est-ce pas?
