I just took a test on this subject. What makes no sense to me is that all the test answers use the word must ( must have been, gone, lost, etc.) Since one uses the future of avoir or être and the passé comp ending, wouldn't the proper translation be will have been, etc? When I go to a lesson, not one example sentence uses the word must. Furthermore, wouldn't common sense tell you that devoir should be used somehow if must is desired? Help-frustrated.

speech recognition

I think this dictee proves to me that I am in NO WAY ready to consider a vacation in France, where (as I recall) most speakers speak even more rapidly than the lady who read this exercise. I hadn't been thinking of such a trip anyway (Covid has interfered with so many plans) but I have decided that at this rate I should probably stay home, possibly forever!

Hey! Can someone explain to me as to why we include the "à" after "pas" in this sentence? Thanks.

Sous la limite de vitesse

Why not "au-dessous de la limite de vitesse"?

Spelling frustrations!

The question is make "Elle s'est maquillée" negative. The following two responses each have a spelling mistake but one is considered "nearly right" and the other is considered incorrect. The answers are "S'est-elle maquillee" and "S'est-elle maquillé". I don't see the difference in the context of the question! Why aren't both "nearly right"?
