For example, I am in front of the school could be: Je suis en face de l'ecole or Je suis devant l'ecole? 

Merci!

abovr was a question on the quiz. 

I selected 2 148,20 as the answer.

The engine said that the my answer was nearly correct, and that the correct 

answer is :  2.148,20

?????

Merci!

This lesson was referenced for the writing exercise "Cathy's vacation". Although the first sentence here in English expresses the idea of doing something for a while, ALL of the FRENCH examples use "depuis".  It would be really helpful to have other instances used as examples of the  "present perfect" - especially when we are bounced back to this lesson in the midst of an exercise that is not about “depuis”!

Regarding the translation of 'the weather was beautiful the whole time!'

the answer is given as:

il a fait beau tout le temps ! 

BUT an alternative answer is also given:

"il a fait un temps magnifique tout le temps !"

This seems to conflict with the lesson ‘Talking about the weather with il fait + [adjective]’ which states that: -

"Il fait should always be followed by an adjective, and il y a used with nouns."

Could you please clarify as un temps is a noun.

Thank you

Hello - I cant work out why in the penultimate response the reason why the verbs conjugated like this when the subject pronoun is nous  "qui nous maquillera et nous coiffera pour le soir."

I would have thought it was nous maquillerons et nous coifferons

Can you explain?

Has anybody seen the subtítles in the video ?

In the video,  you have 3eme, 4eme, 5eme whereas in the lesson you have 3e, 4e, 5e...  are both used or is one used more frequently or is one more formal than the other?

Merci
