Note about répartir

The note about répartir in this lesson:

Note that the verb répartir is NOT a derivative of partir, but shares its root with the word repartition, and does follow the regular -IR conjugation.

Is a little confusing, because 'partir' is not mentioned anywhere, and there is a very subtle difference with 'repartir' that is also not mentioned. Having some of this context would help!

Vous faites tous vos devoirs?

1. What is the purpose of the word "tous" in this sentence?

2. Why is the "s" in "tous" pronounced before the " v" in "vos"?

Writing challenges and self scoring strictnessHi! I just took my first writing challenge and found myself using slightly different word choices (vocabulary) and on one sentence I used a slightly different word order than the proposed correct translation. So just wondering how to grade myself when I'm pretty sure my answer was as valid as the answer. How much wiggle room should I allow myself?

Where did my lesson go? Sometimes after a microtest, a lesson disappears from my list but I still need practice on that point I feel. How can I get back to the lesson? can i get more detailed practice on this site?

Passe compose for a reflexive verb.The answer to a question in the Kwiz was "Nous nous sommes brosse" (with an accent). Shouldn't that have been brosses (with an accent)?

direct object pronouns

hi can you please help me with this example

J'ai encore des cadeaux à acheter - Marie les a déjà tous achetés.

Why is this not Marie en a déjà......

I thought that if it is a partitive then you use en.

thank you for your help

Cordialement

Hi, I love the website. I too am wondering why 'we brushed our hair' is 'Nous nous sommes brossé les cheveux' rather than with an 's' added to brossé

You can use avoir tendance à, too, right?Maybe that could be mentioned in the lesson?
