Can I say Qu'est instead of 

Dear Teacher 

I could not identify, When we use Après étres and when Après avoir? 

Best Regards 

To be completely honest, I couldn't follow this lesson at all. Maybe it's just the way it was written but I found it almost impossible to actually comprehend what was being conveyed and I had to seek out other sources. 

Thanks for everything you guys do! I usually love Kwiziq lessons, but I feel like this one needs a rethink. 

How do I identify a masculine or feminine noun?

Why do you use “à la” with New-Orleans (On va à la Nouvelle-Orléans la semaine prochaine) if there is no article in the name of Nouvelle-Orléans? Is it because it’s a feminine noun? Do I have to use “à la” and “de la” with all feminine nouns OR only with the ones that start with the feminine articles?

is the near future in the imperfect the same as the subjective?  To translate something such as I "was/were going to" seems subjective to me. 

What's the origin of se recueillir as a verb for "to meditate"? It seems so different than the verb recueillir meaning "to note" or "to collect". If one wants to say one is practicing meditation should one use se recueillir or méditer ?

how will we conjugate  " Elle a des stylo "
