Le futur antérieur

This test question required the correct definition: 'Elle aura pu finir son travail' and I put 'She will have been able to finish her work'. But the correct answer is 'She will be able to finish her work'. I'm a bit confused (as ever) because above is an example - 'Tu auras pu chanter sur scène' which translates as 'You will have been able to sing on stage'. So is it will have been or will be able? Help!

Nous réfléchissons au futur. Tu ________ réfléchis aussi?

Could you please help to answer this example?

In this case, the answer is "y" because of the contraction (à+le) in the sentence?

For the writing exercise, My cousin and her accordion"For the writing exercise, My cousin and her accordion, I was't able to submit my question on the page.

Here it is below. For the last phrase, "mais elle l'a eu !", is "mais elle l'a réussi !" an alternate answer? Please explain the use of avoir in this case."

peur du vide vs le vertige

So in an earlier exercise, "I love swimming," you had a possible answer for fear of heights as "peur du vide" but not in this one. Is there a reason why?

Why the agreement?

Comme chaque année depuis que tu nous as quittéS

I did read the lesson on past participle agreement with avoir but am still not sure why the 's' is needed in the above.

le passe simple

When i learned French in my youth ( I am now 91), the passe simple was called the Past Definite in English, is that still so ? We were also told that its use was confined to literature and it was not used otherwise. Is that correct ?

Comment instead of quoi.

When you keep your normal statement followed by quoi at the end

-Tu fais quoi?

Can you replace it with comment

-Tu fais comment?
