Bonjour Madame Cécile !

Though, Kwiziq doesn’t have any lessons on this particular grammar topic but I would like to ask a few queries pertaining to this concept -

1. Ma mère me dit, < Lève-toi tôt tous les matins.>

I answered - Ma mère me dit de se lever tôt tous les matins.

 Here, the question is whether we have to use “ se lever” or “me lever” ?   I had gone through the rules in my grammar book which states to use the infinitive form of the verb after de when the sentence is in L’Impèratif . So, why is “se lever” wrong here ?

2. Il demande, < Aimez-vous les chiens ? >

Now, I wrote - Il demande si nous aimons les chiens.

However, the right answer was- Il demande s’ils aiment les chiens.

I request you to please explain the reasons behind the above two queries.

A small request, as a student, to take a glimpse of my previous question posted few days back. I know it’s quite a tedious question but I hope it’ll be done.

By the way, to take a glance is “ coup d’œil” - an expression I learnt just now !

Merci encore Madame !

Je vous souhaite une bonne journée!

It says you should say le onze, but the audio sounds like l'onze

I have a question which comes from this exercise but is not directly related to the subject matter perhaps but is a listening issue that I have come across before and there must be a rule that I don't know about or that I do and just don't recognise the context: 

In reflexive verb video, which is in the last set of "your practice" offered after you complete the last written section; at 7'40" in the video, the lady says: "Et puis, qu'est qu' on fait quant on utilise l'imperatif..." but instead of saying "quand" she pronounces the "t" as if it were "quante" ...So I wonder if you could tell me what the rule is for pronouncing "quand" with a "t" at the end, since quant, is of course a different word...

I hope that makes sense. I look forward to hearing from you. 

Best regards,

Michael
