I was not able to understand which verb is used in this sentence for the imperative?

Report the time from 4-12 in half hours in french

Report the time from 4-12 in quarter past hours in french

Report the time from 4-12 in quarter to the next hour in french

Vais sounds an awful lot like veut to me.

Is it alright to use "Pourrais-je vous offrir une boisson chaude gratuite en attendant ?" What would be the difference in using pourrais and puis, if any? Thank you.

The English translation "I'm washing after you got up" is grammatically incorrect. You're essentially saying "I'm doing this after you did that", which makes no sense in English. The proper structure would be "I'm washing after you get up" (I'm doing this after you do that") or "I'm washing after you have gotten up" ("I'm doing this after you have done that").

This is one of the most frustrating things in studying any language, when you see a direct translation given that you know is grammatically incorrect (even if it is understandable by somebody who's fluent in the language that the sentence is being translated into) instead of a transliteration that makes more sense.

Pourquoi "Ayons de la foi" n'est pas correct, et on dois dire "Ayons la foi"?

In the line “The second page seemed almost identical to the previous one” the answers do not contain a word for “almost”, such as “presque”. Is this intentional, or should the answers be corrected?

For reference, the answers are: (i) La seconde page avait l'air identique à la précédente, (ii) La deuxième page avait l'air identique à la précédente, (iii) La deuxième image paraissait identique à la précédente, (iv) La deuxième page semblait identique à la précédente. 

Thanks, Brian
