Store Credit

In the text "Thank you. Would you like store credit" The answer given translates to "coupon" and not store credit . Every where I searched converts "store credit" to Crédit du magasin.

liason with égal and égale?

I noticed that the recording of "deux plus deux égal quatre" has no liason after the second deux but "deux plus deux égale quatre" does. Is it just a coincidence or is there a difference because of égal/égale? I find it difficult to know when to use liason before a vowel and when not to and can't find anything that really explains it.

"Complètera" and "complétera" — are both spellings acceptable, or just one?The quiz at the end of this lesson requires "complètera" and doesn't accept "complétera" even though the lesson says that both spellings are acceptable. I'm aware of the spelling reform, and am content to use the modern version, but the quiz just seems to contradict the lesson. Am I missing something?

I tried reporting this as a problem, but was redirected back here to submit it as a question to the French experts, so here I am.

Croire et savoir

I noticed that for the two verbs that have to do with thoughts croire and savoir, the example phrases are negated. Are you able to use these verbs in positive sentences with passé composé or is it more appropriate to use the imparfait since it’s hard to know how long and how many times something was thought or believed?

I am confused: the first two sentences use the past tense, one with juste au cas oû, the other au cas oû but your explanation only talks about the conditional tense and not why these first two sentences are different.

attendre que vs attendre kusqu'à ce que

Is there a difference between "attendre à ce que" and "attendre que"? "J'attendrai que tu t'endormes" = "I'll wait for you to fall asleep" = "I'll wait until you fall asleep". I see no difference in meaning and the simple "que" is more elegant.
