Is this a good summary?

Been looking at this for a long time. Conclusion is if you want to write a sentence using a/the/my , Or making a general opinion then use c'est. Otherwise use I'll/Elle est to make a specific opinion towards something/someone if there is no a/the/my in the sentence?

Every summer, we used to spend our holidays...

How does this translate to "Chaque été, ma famille et moi..." ?

"...nous passions nos vacances..." wasn't presented as a possible translation. Am I missing something here? Thanks.

How take the intitial proficiency test again is you are a premium userPlease provide a link to the general "proficiency" test. I can only find it if I start fresh as a non-paying user for the first time. So I have to create a new account again to find it. I should be able to find the test if I am a premium user

Prescriptive versus descriptive EnglishI read the Q&A for this lesson on collective nouns and the discussion at https://kwiziq.learnfrenchwithalexa.com/is-this-english-correct and I see where Kwiziq is coming from. However, it would clearer for many Engliish speakers if you left out the "how it is in English" versus "how it is in French" comparisons. There are too many interpretations of collective nouns in different forms of English, and many of us haven't learnt the English prescriptions, so we are probably making frequent mistakes in English. In other words, just give teach the French grammar.

Je manque à Alain - Alain misses meI think that is translation is particularly tricky because of the switch from me in English to I in French. Can you please include it in the examples for this lesson?

plural or singular verb

I believe there is an error in the sentence: "mais la majorite des parents inscrivent leurs enfants.

La majority is singular, hence the verb should be "inscrit"

Right?
