I wonder if it would help to use "anticipate" for s'attendre.  Or, even as only a memory tool, "dread" (but not as an actual translation).  I think it may be that trying to use (in our minds) expect in two subtly different ways may be leading to the confusion.  This tool (or trick) works for me?  What do you think?

I wrote out « dix-septième siècle » instead of « XVIIe siècle », but was counted off for that. Is it not correct to spell out the ordinal numbers?

Thank you

I don't think there's any way one could know them unless they had already been taught to the learner. I found it a bit unfair, but I suppose the grading is subjective and as long as one learns something, who cares.

Dans cette phrase: ..."puis nous irons déjeuner dans un bistrot de votre choix", est-ce qu'on peut écriver aussi "puis nous déjeunerons dans..." ?  Ce n'était pas claire qu'on doit utiliser le futur proche dans cette phrase.
