Why is pouvoir in the phrase, "...but my parents told me that we can only keep one..." translated as "nous pouvions" rather than "nous pouvons" ? ie. The use of the l'imparfait rather than the present tense.

I know that we used "voulais" earlier in the sentence, but that was expressed as the past, "I wanted to keep...".  Does the use of the l'imparfait earlier in the sentences necessitate the use of the l'imparfait with "pouvoir" also?

Merci !

Est-ce que "Il soutient l'équipe de Paris..." est acceptable aussi? Quelle est la différence d'usage entre "soutenir" et "supporter" si il y en a un ?  

"marcher a l'ecole" translates to "walks/is walking to school" so why was this marked wrong?

Hello, I hope you are well.

I'm just wondering when Italian will be added in 2023 (which month)? I have an exam and really would love to use Kwiziq to revise!

when the next word starts w a vowel, is there a specific reason why the s of the conjugated verb is not pronounced?

Now that could be misinterpreted!.. if you mean a Master's degree.. try Master's!

"I think that I saw their phone number" : As "I" is the subject for both verbs i.e. "think" and "saw", would "Je pense avoir vu leur numéro quelque part" be an acceptable alternative here, or would that just be wrong?
