How would 2.6 be written in French? What does the decimal mean? 

I am confused about the position of adverbs because the video says they go right after the verb they are modifying but when I answered the mini quiz in that way I got 0/2

Any thoughts?

This is a sample sentence from this lesson: 

J'ai de plus en plus de mal à me concentrer.

I understand the more and more part.  As a student, without the translation, I would not have come up with I'm struggling more and more to focus.   I was seeing this as ... I have (more and more) pain myself to concentrate.  Is there a lesson on avoir mal a that talks about struggling?  If so J'ai de plus en plus de mal avec cette example! :)

Les tomates...  ce sont les dernières.

I am trying to understand why we are using ce sont les...   

Is it because of the rule that says "c'est/ce sont" before "un, le, les, and possessive pronouns"?

Thank you.

Does s’en aller take the future proche?  In other words, are “je m’en vais” and “je vais m’en aller” both correct ways of saying “I am leaving”? And if so, are they completely interchangeable, or do they have different senses or nuances?

Thank you!

In the lesson on simple Passive tenses an example is:

Les étudiants étaient accueillis par le directeur tous les ans.
The students were welcomed by the headteacher every year.

In this lesson, we have the example above: Elles ont été surprises par ...

They were surprised by ...

In both cases the English tense is the same, but it differs in French. Is it important, or can you choose whichever you prefer.
