I'm confused because on many other sites I see both these used as conditionnel. E.g., J'avais pu = I had been able to/could have
Si tu avais pu, tu aurais fait = If you could have, you would have.
Please explain.
Not noted in the lesson but the spelling reforms (1990) resulted in both «plaît» and «plait» being accepted (confirmed with Le Robert). The quiz bot is 'marking' the latter spelling as «nearly correct». Report also submitted directly from quiz.
This question was on a test. Write "I play tennis.": Je ________ tennis. Did I understand the lesson correctly?
Does the answer match what the lesson is teaching? (I can't see or remember either at this moment, but I copied the question before leaving the test page.)
How come there's no "la" in front of Guadeloupe?

How far in the future are you supposed to use the immediate future, I just got it wrong because it referred to next Tuesday, that doesn't sound very immediate to me?

Also, the reader has a nice, clear voice. Thanks for all you do to make learning French so satisfying!
