The test answers are inconsistent; sometimes dix is changed to 10 and minutes to min and heurs to h.   And sometimes not!  IMHO if it is written as a word in the question then it should be written as a word in the answer ie ten = dix  and hours = heurs.

This is a bit of an indirect question related to this lesson about "aprés avoir fait".

The sentence used in the quiz is: "Lucette changea les draps aprés avoir fait le lit." This got me wondering about "changea" and what verb form it is, why we wouldn't say "Lucette a changé les draps aprés avoir fait le lit." But on further reading I see that this is just the difference between a form used in conversation French (passé composé - which perhaps most learners come across first) vs written French (passé simple - which learners come across later..?)

My other question is whether the sentence should actually read: "Aprés avoir changé les draps, Lucette fis / a fait le let." You change the sheets before making the bed, right?

The video in the following lesson says that it has no relation to the present

I wonder, is the object of this sentence ("la" in) "Tu la suis, ou quoi?"  (Are you following her, or what?) part of an expression; a special kind of object pronoun; or just the article for an unspoken feminine object of the sentence (fille/dame)?
