I think sentence was "Vous _________ y retourne ......." I automatically selected "etes" but then noticed the past participle was singular but the subject was "vous" so there should have been an "s" for agreement with the plural. I thought I must have forgotten some other rule. Was this just a typo or did I miss something?"
The suggested answers to My favourite painting is called "The Sunflowers”, are
Mon tableau favori s'appelle "Les Tournesols” and Mon tableau préféré s'appelle "Les Tournesols”,... Presumably 'Ma painture' could be substituted for 'Mon tableau' ??In paragraph two of the transcript this sentence: 'Matisse rompt avec les règles...' is translated in the pop-up as 'Matisse broke the rules..' I assume this is a fixed construction? Is that exactly what it means or does it mean (as the French indicates with 'avec) that he broke with the accepted rules of the day. In English 'broke the rules' and 'broke with the rules' are not identical. I'm trying to find out if this is the case in French as well. Thanks.
Bonjour:) Would you please review the kwiz answer I missed in the above lesson? I did not find any of the possible choices for an answer to be particularly applicable. The actual answer seemed like it was l'imparfait situation in the past so I did not choose that one. I knew "built" was not a verb used in the choice but it seemed to imply the present tense to me. Anyway, many thanks for some clarification on this question at your convenience I hope? Merci.
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?

Par example, pour exprimer une action qui s'est passée juste avant une autre, pouvons-nous dire:
"ils étaient venus d'arriver quand la pluie s'est arretée"
Why does one say 'appelez-le' but 'téléphonez-lui'?
