Is "baies rouges" acceptable or only "fruits rouges"? And does "fruits rouges" mean a specific type of berry, or can it be e.g. redcurrants, cranberries etc?

Bonjour:)  Would you please review the kwiz answer I missed in the above lesson?  I did not find any of the possible choices for an answer to be particularly applicable.  The actual answer seemed like it was l'imparfait situation in the past so I did not choose that one.  I knew "built" was not a verb used in the choice but it seemed to imply the present tense to me.  Anyway, many thanks for some clarification on this question at your convenience I hope?  Merci.

Why are you devient? As in, elle devient une star... Devient seems to be the present tense of devenir; shouldn't you be using the imparfait?

Merci

'Trop loin de ..' is not accepted - being corrected to 'loin de', although the English sentence is 'not TOO far from....'.

Shouldn't  "J'y irai ...' be accepted for "I will go (where ? - to my classes) every Wednesday ..." . It is being corrected to just "J'irai....". 

From the attached lesson "Note that in French, you always need to mention where you're going with aller (to go *somewhere*)"

I am confused by the pronunciation given here for the sentence "Elle a cru que c'était Valentin, mais c'était quelqu'un d'autre." The recorded voice sounds as if there is an s at the end of the word "cru".

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!  

Why "m'a gâché la vie" and not "a gâché ma vie"  or "m'est gâchée la vie".
