It would be helpful to point out the use of could as well as would. Yes, there is one example using could, but for me at least, this didn't sink in until just now, and I have a high score on this lesson. More examples, plus pointing this out in the body of the lesson would be very useful.

The one example:

S'ils économisaient plus, ils pourraient se permettre des vacances.

If they saved more, they could afford holidays.

Reference year old question from Bun re discrepancy lesson and video; lack of noting exceptions in lesson

The problem is that this lesson just makes the general statement that adjectives that end in -s, double the s and add e for the feminine, whereas the accompanying video states that most adjectives ending in -s, follow the standard rules except for those listed by OP, which take -sse ending, and 2 others that absous, dissous - which both drop -s and take -te, and tiers which drops -s and takes -ce. There may be a problem in the video description of those that are regular (ambiguous I think) but neither does this lesson note that there are exceptions to the -sse structure.

It should be clear that more than one answer is expected per question, if applicable.

Also, On can be used to refer to ''you'' as in lots of people but I thought that was the translation/ role of Vous?

devenir [profession] ou denenir un/une [profession]

An example is

Je veux devenir astronaute. -- I want to become an astronaut.

I assume it can be either!

examples don't cover what test did

none of the lesson examples gave info about aura (verb). I got the when/after part right which was in the lesson but something else caused me to get these wrong. I feel ripped and wronged. this was an unfair lesson.

We are only twenty once

Would this be incorrect: "On n'a vingt ans qu'une fois" ?

Why mieux and not meilleur?

So I was reading one of these examples and I noticed that mieux was used instead of meilleur. I think meilleur would fit better as it compares two nouns (ta voiture and la mienne). Can anyone please clarify? The phrase is as follows:

J'aime bien ta voiture, elle est mieux que la mienne.
