Hello

So on the writing challenge test,( If I could start all over...).  I translated the last sentence "I could even get a dog." using "pouvais" meaning "able to" but the correct translation was using "pourrais" the conditional form. Please clarify!,Thank you, Karen 

I think it would be helpful to see more test questions using lorsque, après que and une fois que rather than just 'quand' in the Futur Antérieur.

I just knew the word défi. And I would imagine the word comes from défiance. Is there any difference between these two words? Thank you.

Désormais pourrait-il marcher mieux dans la dernière phrase? - je comprend le sens de la phrase à être que l’audience ne le savait pas auparavant mais désormais on le sait bien. 

Hi

I have a question I'm learning about the inversion in the conditional present and I was wondering about these two sentences?

Why do you not conjugate passer? 

(Could we) passer Chez vous après le spectacle? Pourrions- nous is the answer

But with this sentence

(Would he) signer cette pétition? Signerait- il would be the answer 

I'm very confused and help would be greatly appreciated

Thanks

Nicole

 the equivalent time: zéro heure quarante-cinq 

After studying these lessons I don’t understand why, for example,

Vous vous aimez promener ici? Is wrong!?

And

Vous aimez vous promener ici? Is correct.

From the above notes, I undertand "les tous livres"=all the books 

and tous can be also used alone to refer to all (of something mentioned previously)

But I cannot find the explanation of "les a tous". I know it means “all of them” but what the role the "a" serves here?

Merci beaucoup!

Hi

Can we say il y avait beaucoup de "personnes" instead of "gens"?

Thanks
