Duration?

I am not sure why "chaque" or "tous les" are classified as "duration", when they should labelled as "frequency". To me, it seems to be a mistake.

Le ou la

Salut! In the second last sentence, tarte is feminine, so why is it “LE goûter” and not LA goûter? I’m assuming the meaning of the sentence is “she invites some friends to taste it” or does it mean “the tasting”?

"Look" with the sense of "search"In the writing challenge "I can't find my shirt" the transation for the partial sentence " I must not have looked properly" offers several choices but all use "regarder" - e.g. "Je n'ai pas dû regarder proprement". In this context I belive "looked" implies "searched (for it)" rather than "gazed (at it)". In view of that ought not the translation "chercher" to be allowed as an alternative to "regarder"? In fact can "regarder" be used here at all?

Finding the correct vocabulary

Suggestions please, for the best way to find the vocabulary given at the start of each writing exercise and dictée. I use the WordReference app and the unabridged Collins Robert dictionary, but frequently find that phrases in particular are difficult or impossible to find, which makes the vocab list unhelpful. Thanks.

Qu’en est-il de Julien et Sophie?

I don’t understand the structure of this question. I imagine there is an idiom I haven’t seen before. What is en replacing? What is il referring to?

Thanks.

Répartir to divide

My verb conjugation site shows this as répartez. I’d put répartissez and then changed it. Are there two possible translations or is this site wrong? I checked and it definitely said to divide. Thanks!
