audio"Faites-la sortir avant qu'elle ne fasse un scandale." It was one of the test questions. The audio seems off to me at "fasse un". There's no reporting button for check audio (and anyway maybe I'm wrong).

Si clauseThe phrase “if you could run” uses L’imparfait. But the phrase “if you run” uses the present tense. Could you explain this difference to me? Thanks.

I don't understand how you can distinguish eg Friday from Fridays.

I don't understand how you can distinguish eg 'Monday' from 'Mondays'. In the examples, there is a 'le' for both:

Le lundi est mon jour préféré - Monday is my favourite day

Je déteste le vendredi - i hate fridays

Using 'espérér' + indicative/subjunctiveBonjour,
I have a question about using the verb 'espérer' with indicative/subjuncitive.
In the Writing Challenge 'A sudden reappearance' (15/06/2018), the translation of 'To be honest, at first I hoped that it might be an hallucination...' is 'Pour être honnête, j'ai d'abord espéré que ce soit une hallucination...'
I would have thought that this is an affirmative statement and that we could say 'c'était une hallucination...'
