Player control

Hi! Could you please allow for the player control to have rewind and fast forward functions?It's a bit frustrating to have to mandatorily listen to the whole audio first if I want to replay just a certain part of it.

The use of le futur dans ce paragraphe

I'm curious about the use of the future tense throughout this paragraph. Was that a stylistic decision? In English, I can imagine the same paragraph using either present tense or even conditional tense. Would those tenses also be acceptable in French instead of future tense?

Avoir L'Impératif

I got the following wrong on a test: Les enfants, n'________ pas peur! It says the correct answer is ayez. Why would you use the vous form when speaking to children? Should not the correct answer be aie? Thanks, Ken

Is it optional to use the subject pronoun after "mon pére et moi" as in The fireworks example?

Use of plus-que parfait (pluperfect tense) v perfect tense.The sentence 'I can still see her smile when I surprised her.' is translated using the pluperfect tense:

'Je vois encore son sourire quand je l'avais surprise.'

Would it also be correct to use the perfect tense: 'Je vois encore son sourire quand je l'ai surprise.'?

Avoir du mal à or avec
What is the difference between avoir du mal à and avoir du mal avec. I was marked wrong for avoir du mal à (math) but the lesson seems to indicate one can use either. Thanks.

tout ce qu'il faut sont de bonnes chaussures...

Why use 'sont' not 'est' ?

I think 'tout ce que' is musculin singulier

Adjectives that go after or before

Bonjour.

I took a quiz and it said I was wrong when I put charment last but in the list it says if an adverb is 2 or more syllables it go after the adjective? Or would charmant not be considered an adverb and incase be considered the adjective of Clark gable?

Thanks

Nicole
