I don't understand the passe compose "j'ai toujours adore" to translate "I have always loved sending letters."  Seems to me the writer is describing an action from the past continuing into the present.  In that case, we should use the imparfait.  Using the passe compose indicates the writer completed the action in the past.  At one time she enjoyed sending letters but not now.  (Sorry for the missing accents.  I don't know how to type them on this keyboard.)

The following -ETER and -ELER verbs behave differently: they always and ONLY take the accent è on the first -e (-eter/-eler):

-ELER: agneler - celer - receler - ciseler - démanteler - écarteler - s'encasteler - geler (and derivatives: dégeler, congeler, surgeler) - marteler - modeler - peler

-ETER: acheter (and derivatives:racheter) - bégueter - corseter - crocheter - fileter - fureter - haleter

Should "Montre-moi les mains!" really be considered wrong? I understand you put that in this lesson as an example of reducing ambiguity, with "tes mains", but I definitely don't see it as something to be taken as a wrong answer in a quiz.

If I'm correct, we do the exact same thing in Spanish, and both "Muéstrame tus manos" y "Muéstrame las manos" would be correct. There is no ambiguity whatsoever (i.e. no sane person would wonder whose hands we're asking the person to show). Is it really really different in French?

I mean, it is one thing to try to get students to answer what you taught them, and a very different thing to reject right answers (especially when this very same lesson covers using definite articles for this). 

I keep getting asked a question that I know I have no intention of answering.. I don't answer it so it keeps getting asked.. .. and asked..... is there any way of telling Kwiziq not to ask me again?.. and, presumably, it is marking me down for my failure to answer.

To get dressed is “s’habiller”

How would you say “to get dressed IN” (for example I get dressed in my uniform)

Thanks!

"nous descendrons "te" rejoindre dans la cuisine"  This is how that appeared in the corrected dictation.  What is "te" in reflexive verbs?  Is this a misprint?

Hey guys
