No liaison between "et" and "une"Why is the "t" in "et" silent when it precedes the vowel sound in "une" in ,"Je connais un homme turc et une femme turque."

depuis and ImparfaitI came across a sentence in a book where "depuis" was used along with the imparfait - can maybe you please confirm if it was used correctly? "Comme je ne faisais pas de bruit depuis un moment, maman est venue voir ce qui se passait." Merci d'avance!

I have always understood that "en" is used only when the mode of transport is enclosed?

Tout, tous, toute, toutes = Everything, all (of them)...Hi - question one of the Kwik Kwiz in the above lesson asks "Il les a tous lus" means... Why is the past participle of lire in the masculine plural? I tried to ask the question on the lesson itself, but the Ask button didn't work. Thanks Michael

More emphasis on 'to fit'I think the lesson does not currently explain clearly enough the use of 'Aller à' to mean 'to fit.' It is only mentioned once in passing in the initial explanation, and there is no associated example phrase at that point. In fact, there is only one phrase using it in this sense in the entire lesson, mixed in with nine other phrases in the examples and resources. I didn't get the second correct answer in question two of the Kwik Kwiz, mainly because of the lack focus on this meaning in the lesson. I think a minor tweak would make the lesson more balanced in explaining the different meanings of 'Aller à' Thanks, Michael P.s. I love the whole approach of Progress with Lawless French, and find it really addictive, which must surely be a good thing when learning a language.

Why isn't "cet" used with singular feminin nouns that begin with a vowel or mute "h"?

On peut dire aussi "Je puis", je crois. Mais c'est pas accepté dans les quiz. Pourquoi?
