Is it acceptable to say here instead:

Sur laquelle elle s'allongeait en rêvassant pendant des heures.?

I don’t understand why this translates in the present as well as in the historic past?

Thank you for doing slower recordings, it helps a great deal 👍🏻

Why do you use translations in the full text playback that are not the translations said to be the best when providing feedback on the student-submitted translations?  Are they perhaps the ones used most by native speakers.

At the beginning of the second sentence the word "BASTIEN" is in the text, but it is not in the audio. All of the other sentences have the characters' name in both the text & the audio. 

I understand the literal meaning of this phrase but not really the sense of what she's saying.  Agreeing? disagreeing?

The following answer is given as correct: 'J'ai eu peur que nous soyons arrivés trop tard'.  

My question is: given its 'negative ' sentiment shouldn't the answer include the 'ne expletif'?

-Non, vraiment !

-Merci, vous êtes très gentil.

-Et tu aimes bien Bordeaux?

-Oui c'est très sympa !

-Haha ! Oui, en effet. Merci pour cette interview.

-Merci, ce fut un plaisir !

How do you say “Not only…”?

Mon chien favorit s'appelait Pip.  Why the imparfait here?  It seems a simple statement, neither ongoing, repeated nor descriptive.  It doesn't seem to fulfill any of the criteria of the imparfait.
