The lesson says that prendre and its derivatives take avoir as an auxiliary verb, including se méprendre. My understanding from previous lessons is that reflexive verbs takes être as the auxiliary. Can you please clarify? Thanks!

How do you conjugate the verb "être" in the Passé Composé (conversational past)?

Pronunciation problem

Hi,

I'm curious of how to distinguish "Ils les leur envoient." and "Il les leur envoie" while listening? They sound same in pronunciation.

Ça vs C'est vs Il estI have read the lessons on all these. In a quiz, asking me to translate "It's getting on my nerves," I chose "Il est" because "it's" must be referring to something specific. We don't know what, but no one says generally "It's getting on my nerves" without "it's" referring to something specific. The correct answer is given as "Ça". Even if "it's" was referring to something general, why would it be "Ça" instead of "C'est"?

I thought when an adjective followed a negative verb you had to use the masculine form of the adjective

So fast!

It would be so helpful with exercises like this if we could slow the playback down. I play it 20 times and still struggle at times.

Does anyone know of any websites where you can paste the sentence in and adjust the playback?

Thanks

Explanation of Grammar in this Lesson

I do not understand this lesson either. I ask, too, that it be written. I also ask that the columns in the tables be labeled. I don't know what they are trying to say.
