Can you tell me why it's "avoir à passer du temps" rather than "avoir passer du temps"? From the lessons I would think the version without "à" would express "having to spend".

Also, in the last phrase it is difficult to understand whether they wanted a phrase to describe that he would become a person who translates any language instantly or he would instantly become a universal translator. Are those two things written differently?

en vs à

Où habites-tu? j'habite à Barcelone.

Why using ( en ) instead of (à ) in this sentence is incorrect?!

Conditionelle Passé

Can I please ask for a little explanation on why is there Conditionel Passé in the text: "elle aurait été" and further on. Thank you!

m'ont accompagnée (Follow up from Cécile, Carl and Francis previously)

The final transcript and the bottom 'correct answer line' in the exercise still have '...qui émanaient de ce coin de m'ont accompagnéeS .....' instead of just "....m'ont accompagnée" - agreement with the speaker's gender. The upper line 'best answer' indicated in the exercise is correct however. Cécile has answered a query on this previously. (I think I remember correctly what was presented in the exercise, but can't go back to recheck)

I must admit I often ignore 'agreement' like this when a text is in first person singular, and instead just use the 'agreement' that applies to me.

What happens when you refer to this idea later?

How would I say, " Reading is my favorite pass-time, it relaxes me"? Where "it" refers to reading.
