Grammar Queries (based on concepts)Bonjour Madame Cécile !
I am facing a few problems and am unable to understand the reasons behind them.
1. "He realizes you're cheating." -> Il réalise que vous êtes en train de tricher.
In this sentence, why one doesn’t use Le Subjonctif as the expression is followed by “que”?
2. I knocked at the door, but you were sleeping."
The correct answer was-> J'ai frappé à la porte, mais tu étais en train de dormir.
Though, I mentioned “ J'ai frappé à la porte, mais tu dormais. (L’Imparfait)
As I was sleeping in progression when someone knocked.
3. Ils ________ écouter.(They should listen.)
Why the accurate answer is -> devraient (Le Conditionnel Présent) and not ‘doivent’ ?
Merci Madame de m’aider encore.
Je vous souhaite une bonne journée !
Why is it “de la pâté à modeler” and not “des pâté à modeler”?

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.
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.
I'd like to know what this sentence says:
"un ogre grand comme une maison"
Please translate. Thank you
Bonjour,
In this example:
Regarde ces filles. Celle qui court s'appelle Sophia
Can I use "Ce qui" instead of "Celle qui" as follows (remember ce qui, ce que, ce dont)?
Regarde ces filles. Ce qui court s'appelle Sophie
Merci d'avance.
On the section "et il adore les loisirs créatifs !"
- Did not hear ‘et’ at all.
On section: "pour donner à la famille et aux amis."
- She pronounces the ’s’ in ‘amis’, I thought you were not supposed to. That threw me and I got it wrong.
On the section "On va bien rigoler !"
- Far too fast! I replayed that about 10 times or more and could not get a word (as an A1 student)
