Two questions

The text to be translated in line 10:

If only she had let them.

 

The correct answer given is:

Si seulement elle les avaient laissé faire

 

Why not elle les avait?

 

The text to be translated in line 11:

-That I can believe, as it’s true that food plays a big part in French culture,

 

The correct answer is:

Ça, je peux y croire, comme c’est est vrai que la nourriture joue un grand rôle dans la culture française,

 

Is c’est est vrai correct ?

Bonjour G,

You're absolutely right! Thanks to you, these two mistakes have now been amended accordingly in the exercise: it should be "c'est est" and "elle les avait laissé faire"

Merci de votre excellente contribution !

Bonne journée !

yes I also do not understand why it is "Si seulement elle les avaient laissé faire." Surely it relates to HER letting them do something

Si seulement elle les avait laissé faire. -- If only she had let them.

There seems to be a mistake it the text actually says avaient instead of avait.
