In example question 1 of this lesson, you say: "Croyez-vous qu’il arrive bientôt ? Oui, ... crois." (Do you believe he'll get there soon? Yes, I believe so.)

Doesn't "Croyez-vous qu’il arrive bientôt?" mean "Do you think it's coming soon?".

Shouldn't it be "Croyez-vous qu'il y arrivera bientôt?"

French accents

French accents in the translation page were not available, and that makes me loose points. How can I get them considering I have an English keyboard

Quiz screen is cut off along the right edge so I can’t press “complete”

This has happened a few times lately. For some reason the right side of the response and the “complete” button are cut off on my Ipad screen.

Why don't we use gerunds in these casesI understand en buvant. But why is this incorrect: Sans me pressant (instead of presser) Avant partant (instead of partir) On passerait la journée discutant (instead of discuter)

Can I decide the placement of the adjective and then use 'de' or 'des' as necessary?

Can you simply move an adjective before a noun and then use 'de'? Or does using 'de' before the adjective only occur when using an adjective that actually goes before the noun?

i.e. Can we say "the white houses" either way? des maisons blanches or de blanches maisons

"Je veux que vous revisiez vos leçons."

The answer translates revisier as 'review' meaning, I assume, to read them again in preparation for an exam, but in english english it is more likely to mean, addressed to the teacher, ' take a look at your lessons and make sure they don't need updating'. If we want to mean 'read again and learn to prepare for an exam' we say 'revise'. Doing revision is the noun therefrom.

Nous passons par chez Martin. "Nous passons par chez Martin." In the quiz this meant "We're popping by Martin's place". Could it also mean "We're passing by Martin's place". How do you know if they pass by or pop in? Thanks
