Hi, a “rewind 10 seconds”, or something similar, would add great value to this exercise type. Currently, I need to re-listen to the whole audio just to try to catch a single word I’ve missed (and I need to do this many times).

Hello , to my understanding , there are 2 types of question ,formal and informal . But what type is this that the question "Combien coûte ce livre ?" belongs to ?, Because it's not follow the formulas for formal type ( Est-ce que or inversion ) . And it's not also follow the formula itonation for informal type (question word + statement itonation) like Combien ce livre coûte ?. Why combien is an adverb but can be followed by a verb (coûte).  So it confuses me here  . Can you explain for me please ?

Why can’t we say je  l’écoute sur Boucle instead of en boucle ? 

when speaking, would après avoir  sound like 'aprèsavoir' - I thought we should link such words, (hearing the 's') but the reader did not in this case.

The "je" in this sentence sound like "te".      "Je n'en avais jamais entendu parler avant"

It would be very helpful to have a translation of these dictation exercises 

Bonjour forum et les experts

Au sujet de la parte de la phrase,  'dont il avait pu admirer les grandes percées' , je  me demande si c'est également correcte de l'écrire, 'dont il avait été capable d'admirer les grandes percées' ?

Bonjour,

I'm confused how to order ne..que in the present tense in 2 following cases:

I only eat sweets 

I eat sweets only

Merci  d'avance.
