How to optimise learning here?

Hello,

Can anyone suggest a best-practices methodology for using the site to improving in a systematic way?

Perforce of circumstances, I'm learning on my own, but hope to get off the B1-B2 plateau that I've settled on via my piecemeal learning.

FWIW, I spend ~15 hours per week studying French.

Thanks in advance,

plus qu'à cacher

I don't understand "Il ne me restait plus qu'à cacher les oeufs." What is the use of "qu' à"?

New (as in another) versus New (as in brand new)

In the sentence - J'achète toujours une nouvelle chemise..... the shirt is 'brand new' hence should be - J'achète toujours une chemise neuve?

de peur que _ _ _ _

Correct answer : de peur qu'il n'y ait une fuite de gaz. Can de peur qu'il ne soit une fuite de gaz be used to mean the same thing ?

Pounds and Pence

I got "nearly" as an answer on a quiz for an example that was never given. 5,900.45 (pounds) is never shown as 5.900,45 in French, only 5 900, 45 in French. Please explain.

Deux erreurs

Dans le texte vous avez «les poèmes qui sont présentés» mais dans le fichier audio «les poètes qui sont présentés». De plus, le paragraphe 4, ligne 4, répète la ligne 3 dans une simple erreur de frappe ou de copier-coller.

Une exposition totalement nouvelle?

Why is "une exposition totalement nouvelle" correct, shouldn't it be "une totalement nouvelle exposition" ?

Qu’ or Que

I don’t know why my answer wouldn’t be qu’ in this instance, rather than the unshortened que. I’d appreciate guidance.
