One example given is: Tu as vraiment des yeux de lynx !
You really have eagle eyes!Isn't "lynx" a "lynx" in English (and eagle is "aigle")? Or is "yeux de lynx" an expression that means very sharp eyesight, similar to "eagle eyes"?the lesson says: To express after + -ing / after having + past participle in French, you use the same following structure:
après + Infinitif passé (= infinitive of auxiliary (être or avoir) + past participleATTENTION:
Use the same auxiliary as in compound tenses like Le Passé Composé.
But all the examples are using avoir. Could you expand a little about using être in this situation? Thanks!

Do we know here that it's Maria's ex rather than his ex? If we do, then how would we say his ex?
''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.
What is the difference in meaning and usage between these two phrases?

Salut, dans vos premiers indices, pourquoi donnez-vous "Bonne chance" = "good luck," quand le meilleure reponse est "la bonne fortune"?: Merci.

According to the article, to express the previous time - we could use la dernière fois + the clause of the sentence. (la dernière fois is used interchangeably with la fois dernière if without a clause)
We can also use the same to express the last (final) time - la dernière fois + the clause.
How do I know which one this refers to? It could mean both the final time, or the previous time in the above sentence.
I know it's not the point of the lesson, but could someone explain the use of chez in the example, please?
Ce qu'elle aime le moins chez lui, c'est son arrogance.

Does Lawless French plan on incorporating audio questions to their Kwizis? (For example: "type what you hear".) I really enjoy doing the listening practices and know they're beneficial, however, since you cannot earn points doing them, it can be hard sometimes to find enough motivation to do them over the arguably easier kwizis.
Also, if this addition was to be made, it could be optional. (e.g. "Would you like to include audio questions in this kwizi?" or something like that.)
Just an idea :)
