how can on veut mean we want when its singular?

C'est vraiment tard !  But he seems to be stressing "that". So "c'est" can be "that is" as well as "it is"?

I am unable to see why I should have scored only 5 out of 60 in this exercise, unless you expect me to guess where full stops, commas and exclamation marks go.  This is impossible to know when only short excerpts are given by actors with slow, flat voices!

I momentarily thought i had spotted a mistake: 'Chuck Berry avait vraiment le rythme dans la peau' (peau = skin), but apparently it's a French idiom, we say 'in his blood', the french say 'in his skin'. I was momentarily confused by it: 

pour utiliser une bouilloire dans une phrase je dis je n'ai jamais eu une bouilloire ou je n'a jamais possédé de bouilloire

pour utiliser une boilloire dans une phrase je dis je n'ai jamias eu une bouilloire ou je n'a jamais posesede de bouilloir?

Hi,

Can I say like below also insted of "Patrick va mal en ce moment."

Patrick sent mal en ce moment. (Patrick is feeling bad right now )

It would be a closer translation I think to say "goes with" in English. As English uses "to go" in the exact same way as french. E.g., "that shirt goes with my sister", is a closer translation than "that shirt suits my sister". In my opinion, as it maintains the "to go with" lineage in its meaning. 

I was wondering if "je préfère rester dedans" would be an acceptable response?

How is it possible to know thr exact punctuation in dictations when none is given? Why is it not just the French which is corrected? What a wind up.
