Why is est being used with coincer ? Why can’t we say elle a coincé ….?
Or as we know that with depuis, we use present tense , then why can’t we say…. Elle coince là….?

This lesson refers to the Infinitif Passé. I have been doing the lessons in order since level A0 and I don't think I have seen Infinitif Passé before. I figured it out, and finally noticed the link to a lesson about it at the bottom of the page, but perhaps this lesson could explain briefly what it is, rather than using the name without previous explanation.
in the expression j'ai peur de....the de changes with the object j'ai peur des chats....what about avoir besoin de or avoir envie de...those don't change? Why? Merci, Bruce
The word "toujours" is confusing here. Why doesn't Bastien respond in the imperfect to express his habitual actions and say "je faisais toujours comme ça" instead of saying "j'ai toujours fait comme ça..."? He has "always" left his clothes on the floor and still intends to do so. Shouldn't this scenario be expressed by the imperfect? Thanks for any help.
I found this lesson really confusing.
You say derrivatives of paraître, but how am I to know that appraître isnt a derrivative?
As you can see, in such cases, tout becomes toute in front of feminine adjectives, but only when they start with a consonant or an aspirated h.
But in the above examples tout did not become toute...what am I missing....???
Wow this was really helpful, I played it over and over and can see marked improvement in listening comprehension.
