Even though I do now understand the difference between when to use those two prepositions, I am having trouble pronouncing them. Is there a way? Is the X silent? Thank you.

Which tense?

The exercise says "When the main verb is in the passé composé, it is followed by the passé composé or plus que parfait" so why, in the following example, is the passé composé followed by the present tense.

Après qu’ils sont arrivés, ils vont saluer ma mère.After they've arrived, they go and say hello to my mother.

une culture culinaire qui lui est propre

This sentence is from a B1 reading exercise about French cooking. Here, propre is translated as " specific". So, is this an alternative meaning to 'clean'?

Party favours?

"Party favours" in not a term in use in Australia as far as I can ascertain, and I had never heard of them (with either of the meanings I discovered).

Doesn't help much when the urban dictionary definition is essentially 'hard(er) drugs'!

Luckily, overseas sites advertising other 'party favours' gave a different insight, as did wordreference.
