So in an earlier exercise, "I love swimming," you had a possible answer for fear of heights as "peur du vide" but not in this one. Is there a reason why?
I’ve looked at the forum responses and still don’t understand why ‘je suis dix minutes en retard’ was marked as incorrect. More clarification please.
In the end-of-lesson full text to read and listen to the first sentence of the text reads "J'adore habiter au..." but the audio says "J'aime habiter dans la...".
Cecile and Chris I am more confused. Cecile seems to be saying "vous va" could be right as it can be singular but formal. Is it the "ton" which determines which "you" you use?
Why isn't the first sentence "Qu'est-ce que vous pensez de nouvelles technologies ?" "New technologies" is a general statement, as speakers are not talking about specific tech, and the responder even answers by generally referencing "ces nouveaux appareils."

Futur SimplejeviendraituviendrasI don't understand the usage of "à enchaîner" here.
Can someone explain the grammar ? It's not a fixed expression as far as I can see. Why à + infinitive ? Why not en + present participle ? Is it the same thing ? How would we translate this ? By/while enchaining ?
Is it the same as "en enchaînant" (en + present participle) , which would mean "in enchaining", or perhaps "while enchaining"
am I correct ?
Thanks Paul.
