The end of the passage states, "d'ici trois jours ouvrables" or "dans", but the English phrase to translate is "within" so should en not be used instead of dans? En being within and dans being similar to after ex number of days.
Why quitter is correct answer, but not sortir ?
I found an example in the lesson where sortir is used to describe a personne leaving work at 19h
Il faut que j'aille chercher mes parents
vs. je dois chercher mes parents
vs. il faut que je cherche mes parents
Pourquoi les autres deux réponses ne sont pas correctes?
I was corrected when translating "love" with adorer instead of aimer, but on my next quiz "love" was translated with adorer. Is there a way to remember which to use? They were both regarding inanimate objects.
Thanks!
My immediate instinct was to use "Attention ! Le mélange ne devrait pas trop chaud," but it was marked incorrect. In this particular context, is there a hard reason why it is better to use "Le mélange ne doit pas être trop chaud" instead?

Does it matter the Order in which the Male or Female is used, and hence the usage of l'un or l'une ?? How is this decided? Because l'autre is always gender neutral anyways.
In this exercise, which asked to conjugate verbs in Plus-que-parfait, I wrote the following sentence: Marc lui avait souri et Gilles avait deviné tout de suite que Marc avait capturé son âme! My « avait capturé » was marked down and corrected to be « avaient capturé ». I cannot understand why a 3rd person plural conjugation is being used here instead of singular since the sentence talks about one person, Marc, who caught/captured Gilles’s soul.
Why does impressioné have another 'e' on the end. Is it because the speaker is feminine?
Please confirm are these Adverbial Affirmative Imperatives correct?
- Donne-lui-en! [Give him some!]
- Emmenez-m’y! [Take me there!]
- Emmenez-nous-y! [Take us there!]
- Amuse-t’y! / Amusez-t'y! [Have fun there!]
