Est-ce qu'on peut utiliser le voisinage au lieu de quartier dans ce contexte ? 

Cet exercise était amusant et m'a fait rire.  Merci!  

As per Danilo's comment previously, (~11 months ago) it would be helpful with the examples for parler/finir/faire/prendre to have both the translation for the present tense form (as currently is included) and also for the imparfait form associated. I had to do a double take on this too - the lesson is on imparfait, and I expected consolidation of the meaning of those conjugations in the section. Relatively minor but useful, I think.

This idea also exists in English ie 'He's selling his motorbike' can mean is is actually in the act of selling it in the present moment OR it can mean that he intends to sell it in the future. 

In the passage we have both

'du fait qu'il est le seul'

and

'le fait qu'il n'y ait pas de jeu'

and I wonder why one is indicative and one subjunctive?

In the fourth line : Why is it not  ‘passer la premiere’ because  the driving instructor is requesting two things: (veuillez) ‘appuyer doucement’ and ‘passer au premier’
