Au début, j'entends "Tous les quatre ans" au lieu de "Tous les ans".

 Is there a difference between

"Je me réveille à sept heures du matin tous les jours"

and

"Je me réveille tous les jours à sept heures du matin" ?

Je suis Robert!   Aujourd'hui c'est mon dernier jour de travailler!  This dictee was the perfect way for me to celebrate my retirement.  Thanks for all you do  and especially for this particular exercise!

According to a lesson, "tous" should be placed between the auxiliary verb and the past participle  

In one of the answers to a question in the corresponding lesson regarding articles for countries, Cécile advises that Israel and some random island countries like Malta, Cyprus, Haiti and Cuba do NOT take an article (le, la, les or l’). From the above exercise it appears that Monaco is also included on this small list of countries without a gender. Just out of interest, does anyone know why Monaco doesn’t have one? I wondered if it was because it’s just an abbreviation of la Principauté de Monaco? (But then again, the names of most countries are abbreviations of their official names, so that doesn’t help us to decide whether to add an article, and maybe it’s just something we have to learn individually for each country)

It seems like you are trying to explain two concepts, but aren't explicit about it.First compound subjects take plural verb forms: Sarah et ma soeur sont allées à la plage.

Second the subject pronoun changes form from its singular usage:

je --> moi

tu --> toi
