My translating tool says that "des patins à parquet" are "floor gliders."  Anyone have any idea what kind of shoes they might be?

In the third line of the dialog, if using inversion "Savez-vous à quelle heure nous atterrissons?", the audio in the exercise has several extra words that do not match the text. I can't remember exactly what they were but at the beginning it says "Pascal", like there were cues for the dialog that were being read as the dialog.

Besides 'comme celles que j'avais eues les premiers mois', one of the recommended translations of 'like the ones that I'd had during the first few months' is 'telles que j'avais eues pendant les premiers mois'.

But the antecedent is 'une hallucination'.

So shouldn't this option be 'telle que j'avais eue pendant les premiers mois'...?

In the "après que" lesson, should the above example read instead 

             Après que j'ai vu ce film, j'ai été bouleversé.

in order for the tense  to agree with that of the  main verb as indicated? 

Of course, " j'étais bouleversé"  sounds closer to "I was overwhelmed" 

If the answer is no, what is the difference in meaning between the two "options"?

Thank you,

Anna

How do we know when to use the verb “avoir” or when we have to use the verb “être”? Or is that something we just need to memorize?

' never going to bed angry' should be surely present tense as they are still doing it? 

Why do you say mangées and not mangé, since it's "Anne a mangé"?

Thanks in advance:)

In the fill-in-the-blanks piece associated with the music vocabulary, reference was made to « faire un carton » - to be a hit, so I looked into what the opposite of this would be and « faire un bide » - to be a flop. Useful vocabulary to add to the list ?

Why is it "J'ai du mal à (verb)", instead of "J'ai du mal a (verb)"? 

I only know we use it for locations, such as "Je suis à Paris" 

I would like to particularly congratulate the person who gave us this piece.  Not only was it enlightening for me, but it was also a perfect B2 listening exercise. Thank you.  Now to my question.  I understand the admonition about the use of present tense to relate a historical story.  How does the use of the future perfect in the first paragraph relate to this?  Were there other choices for this tense?
