à + verb or de/d' + verbThis isn't covered in fully in the lessons, but I would like to know: how do we know when to use à + verb as opposed to de + verb? Some lessons cover de + verb, for example to say 'before running' I can say 'avant de courir'. But I'm not sure about the other case, à + verb. Any answers? I haven't had much luck searching the web for this, so any help would be much appreciated.
This is the one specific to this exercise:
"qui consiste à appliquer de la peinture sur de l'eau". Why not "qui consiste d'appliquer ...?"
Here are other cases I've found on this website:
nous avons commencé à le faire il y a quelques années
quand tu auras fini de ranger ta chambre, tu m'aideras à faire la vaisselle.
on est toujours pressé d'oublier les moments délicats
le temps que je finisse de manger, ... j'aurai fini de vérifier ... le temps que ça lui prend de se préparer
Bonjour Madame,
The final text at the end reads-“Je m’assois dans mon canapé.”
Should it not be ‘sur’ ? (For saying - I sit on the sofa)
Merci d’avance !
These are the examples given:
- parler : nous parlons (we are talking) -> je parlais
- finir : nous finissons (we are finishing) -> je finissais
- faire : nous faisons (we are doing) -> je faisais
- prendre : nous prenons (we are taking) -> je prenais
All the verbs have the same ending despite the subject. Perhaps I'm missing something

What will be the formal of “Je suis d’accord avec toi”
Does it say 'la Saint Nicolas est célébré' with a masculine adjective because Nicolas is masculine ?
There should be an option to play slowly do each word could be deciphered separately. This would be a good addition to the listening practise section.
Seems like going up using avoir could work here, too. It’s confusing sans greater context. No question, just a comment that some questions are too vague.
''Tom et Paula se sont embrassés devant le miroir.'' can mean:Tom and Paula kissed each other in front of the mirror.Tom and Paula kissed him in front of the mirror.Tom and Paula kissed themselves in front of the mirror.
