Cet exercice n'était pas un niveau C1 - comme indiqué
The English translation of the above example should be “there were a hundred or so people that day” , not was a hundred. The total number of people overrides the fact that they are one hundred.
For this sentence:
Je ferai parvenir le dossier à Jean Des que possible. The answer is je lui ferai parvenir le dossier Des que possible.
But when I have Je ferai parvenir ce document à votre avocat it translates to Je le lui ferai parvenir.
Can someone help me?
Thank you

In the exercise, the meaning of "Il aurait adoré la rencontrer" is given as "He would have loved meeting her". Am I correct in assuming that it can also be translated as "He would have loved to meet her"? In the first instance, in English, the implication is that he actually did meet her, but the second means that he hadn't met her at the time.
To go further, would "He would have loved to have met her" be translated as "Il aurait adoré l'avoir rencontrée"? Is this idiomatic?
