Why is it "toutes les personnes qui nous ont aidés" and not "aidées?" Is it because of "nous" and not "les personnes?" Merci d'avance ! 

How do I add this writing exercise(Mother's Day presents) to the notebook?

It kept cutting at various parts for me. I had to replace portions of the audio over and over again in order to hear the entire portion. For example, for the first sentence I would almost never hear "Au Luxembourg" so I was confused by the hint. Sometimes I only heard the very last word out of the entire sentence

Question on a test: “What are all the possible ways to say 3 o’clock”  Marked incorrect for NOT choosing the following highlighted answer. Why do I need “de l’après-midi” if I am using “quinze”? Isn’t it obvious that I am speaking of the afternoon?

One of the questions has the reply alternative: D'ici le temps que nous trouvions une solution, il sera trop tard. This was considered incorrect.

However, Reverso has loads of examples where "D'ici le temps que + subj." is translated as "By the time that". So, any reason why this doesn't work here?

d'ici le temps que ces dispositions soient mises en oeuvre -> by the time this is implemented

d'ici le temps que ton bébé ait le même âge que Samuel  -> by the time your baby is Samuel's age

Hello,

I had this kwiziq question: Catherine ________ à l'hôtel ce soir. (Catherine is sleeping at the hotel tonight.)

I put the answer for the blank as "est en train de dort", but instead the answer is only "dort". I thought that "dort" would = he/she sleeps (not he/she is sleeping)

I thought that dormir = (to) sleep; être en train de dormir = sleeping.

Thanks for the help!

In the first paragraph and the phrase "il faut entrer dans la tête .." I'm hearing the "t" of "faut" being pronounced.

As there is a "verbe + verb infinitif" situation my understanding is that liaison is forbidden.

However, the "t" sounded does not appear to link across to "entrer".

I would really appreciate some comment !

Hi: I'm unable to parse "résoud" in the following sentence: 

Shouldn't it be "résout"? In fact, I couldn't find "résoud" in the online dictionary (word reference). 

Thanks!
