Is there a problem with the English prompt?

The sentence asks how one would translate: "If she could fly, she would go to the moon." ?

My sense is that this is misleading because "if she could fly" is conditional not past continuous. Shouldn't it read "If she flew, she would go to the moon" to avoid confusion?

Thanks, Kalpana

Taille versus Pointure

The answer suggested "taille" for size but, in immersion school in France, I learned that "pointure", not "taille", is the correct way to say size when it comes to shoes.

Why not imparfait for "I missed them when they were away?

I put Ils me manquaient quand ils étaient partis but the answer given is Ils m'ont manqué quand ils étaient partis.

I thought it would be imparfait because I was in a state of missing them all the time they were absent.

Transliteration for "avec"

Good day! My question is for this example: "On ne doit pas parler la bouche pleine." (People mustn't speak with their mouths full.).

Why is there no "avec"? Is this because it isn't meant to be transliteral?

I'm confused again

The quiz asks 'Je prends cette rue ................ panneau stop. I supplied malgré du which was marked wrong with en dépit du given as correct. Why is malgré du wrong?
