1. According to multiple references « faire du lèche-vitrines » is invariable with the plural form of 'vitrines'. However, it appears that the 1990 rectifications accept the singular form. The plural form is still correct but is being red-lined through the 's'.

2. The hint for "Some of them deliver to your door " is to use the plural form of "yours" - I think this is meant to be use the polite form, as the expected script  is « votre porte », not « vos portes »

pourquoi "inaugurera", c'est au futur ?

I answered "ne soyons arrivés" but this was marked wrong. "Soyons arrivés" was given as corrrect.

Am I missing something with the expletive "ne" (which I do find a bit confusing!)  Could you explain?

Thanks in advance,

Ian

I was wondering why "en" is not accepted in my answer using the phrase "etre au courant"?  You have "of it" in the English hint.
