The boys cut out "des poissons," why do they stick "les" on their friends' backs instead of "en"?
I would have thought that 'la fois dernière meant 'the previous time, not 'the final time'
How would you say I have to leave here within half an hour?
In the last vignette, is quais incorrect for the dialogue? isn't Oui correct?
Why is my answer J'ai monté wrong? Isn't au grenier a Direct Object? and I thought être is used to go inside, to get on to embark, and avoir is used to walk up. So isn't "I went up" "walking up" ? Thanks
Ce matin, ________ monté au grenier pour ranger un peu.This morning, I went up in the attic to clean up a bit.je suisj'aiTo my knowledge, 'le plus que parfait' is used to indicate actions before a (supposedly) principal action, denoted in passe compose, in the past.

I got both quiz questions for this wrong because they were questions. There were no questions marks so one would assume that they were statements rather than questions - Lisez-vous ce livre is different to lisez-vous ce livre?
Why was I marked wrong on a quiz for including "quel est un pain au chocolat" in ways to say what is a pain au chocolat?
The Listen button for the tenir conjugations is not working. I press it and it just repeats the venir conjugations instead.
There are two examples of the verb, s'avérer, in this exercise:
1) Et les compétences que j'ai acquises comme avocate se sont avérées inestimables dans ce nouveau domaine.
2) Ce changement se sera avéré être la meilleure chose que tu aies jamais faite.
My dictionary translates s'avérer as "prove to be" or "turn out to be". In the second example, the infinitive être is added to s'avérer whereas in the first it is absent. Is être optional? If the 'to be' is included in the definition, why is être necessary in the second example?
