In the phrase, '"ce qui m'a enfin permis de m'ouvrir" why isn't there an "e" at the end of "permis", since the direct object, "m", is a woman?

On a quiz, the question was "Il est_________ (It's ten past three o'clock)(Hint use the 12 hour clock) " I wrote Il est quinze heures dix. The only accepted answer was "Il est trois heures dix". There was no indication that it was supposed to be AM. Can you please either arrange to have it accept both AM and PM or at least indicate that you specifically needed AM or PM in the question.

Thank you!

My comment is similar to Elizabeth's, so I hope your response will also be similar.

My answer to...

À ce moment-là, les étoiles ________ dans le ciel.

was "sont apparus". This is wrong because I didn't know that étoiles is feminine. But the only correction given was "ont apparu".

Lorsque j'ai ouvert cette page, une note est affichée. Qu'est-ce que c'est ? Mais, Je suis capable de la voir et de la rejeter.

Pourqoi disons-nous "un étrange personnage", quand "une personne étrange" sonne plus français ?

Sorry for this very small quibble - the above sentence from the microquiz isn’t idiomatic English and I can’t think when I would say it. Who is making "the noise", "that noise" or even "a noise" are possible.

In your lesson, you describe …aine as being ‘about’ or ‘or so’ and yet in the example you translate deux douzaine… as being ‘two dozen’. In UK English , a dozen is NORMALLY, exactly 12, but I acknowledge it CAN also have ‘or so’ connotations.  Perhaps not the best example?  Love the site for learning French by the way. Much better than well-known alternatives)

Can we say aux agents de bord instead of avec les agents de bord?

Ça fait 156e was said too quickly.

Are there any Listening Exercises to practice numbers?
