“MUM/MOM: Kids, stop fighting,”The answer is “MAMAN : Les enfants, arrêtez de vous battre,”, but it strikes me as strange that “Les” is there when “enfants” is directly addressing the children in order to get their attention. Could I just double-check with you that the “Les” should in fact be there?

“QUENTIN: When do we get there?”For these three answers, does “there” not need to be explicitly included, maybe with a “y”, such as “QUENTIN : Quand est-ce qu'on y arrive ?” Same question for “We'll get there when we get there!”.

“MUM/MOM: Quentin, did you bring your blankie [safety blanket]?”We would call this a comfort blanket, or perhaps a security blanket, but not a safety blanket.

Hi, just to let you know......the audio for “QUENTIN : Quand arrive-t-on ?” has some additional words at the end. Something like “too formal”.

“PAPA : Allez, tout le monde monte dans la voiture !”

Hi, am I correct in thinking the following. [A] “Allez” & “monte” in this sentence are in the Impératif Présent, and [B] that “Allez” is in the second person plural because it’s directed at the multiple members of the family, and that “monte” is in the second person singular (familiar) because it is referring to “tout le monde” which is a singular entity?

a word not audible

In the dictation exercise Travailler en équipe (B1), in the audio of the phrase, "En effet, la diversité des points de vue qui s'expriment", the "qui" is not audible.

Grammar point 'everyone''J’ai trouvé tout ce qui était disponible sur ce sujet» I was seduced into thinking tout ce qui could mean everyone, I assume it never does and this would be j'ai trouve tout le monde qui etc

Je me demande pourquoi il y a un espace devant le point d’exclamation à la fin des phrases?
