Technical Question/Issue: Play head

Hi! Just a quick question, the play head doesn't allow me to go back or move forward as in if I wanted to play back or listen again to only a certain part of the exercise/story. And I have to listen to the whole thing again, for just one small part. Is this something that is intentional or an oversight? thank you

Agreement of past particple with avoir auxillary

There might be an error on a test I just took. The question as written is "Ma mère nous a récompensés pour nous être comportés... The sentence as given shows an agreement between the past participle of récompenser, and the auxilliary, avoir. Is this correct? My instincts say "Non", but perhaps I'm missing something.

"C'est" vs "il/elle est" Error or confusionThe fill-in-the-blanks exercise https://progress.lawlessfrench.com/my-languages/french/tests/overview/2122084 has a questionable answer for the sentence, “____ est une très bonne danseuse.”

The lesson states: A) If it/he/she is is followed by un/une/le/la... (any form of article / determinant) - it is a beautiful dress / she is a nice person - then you will use c'est.

Now not being a native french speaker, and still very much a student, it still feels wrong to use “c’est” here, as so the lesson also states: B) il est/elle est for statements and opinions related to specific things

As we’re talking about a specific, pre-mentioned person, “Valentine,” the obvious answer is “Elle est une très bonne danseuse.” However, the “C’est une très bonne danseuse” is listed as correct.
Is this an error? Or what am I getting wrong here?"

Fais-tu avoir de la monnaie?

Salut! Just want to clarify regarding Fais-tu avoir de la monnaie?

Would the correct form be: est-ce que tu fais avoir de la monnaie?
