In your correction, you said that "nous avons aussi appris a changer une roue" rather than un pneu. Une roue translates, as per my dictionary, to be "a wheel," while "un pneu" is a tire. I'm probably splitting hairs, but it is different to change a wheel than a tire; the wheel is the base on which the tire sits and would therefore be a much bigger job than changing the tire alone. As I said, I'm splitting hairs, but want to know if in common parlance, the roue is changed when the pneu is flat. Also, others have asked the other questions I had - about the use of plus-que-parfait (suggested but not actually used in the "correct" translation) and about the use of encore rather than toujours. Thanks for your help. It is greatly appreciated!

Avant que vs Avant de

What is the difference between the usage of 'avant que' + subjonctif and 'avant de' + indicatif? Are there certain situations where can only use one or the other?

This is a long, tough lesson!!I’m having a lot of trouble with this lesson. Can you provide parallel examples of ways to say the same thing with “le jour précédant /précédent / le lendemain” and explain exactly what you mean by the rule that some phases can only be used “on their own.” Also, it is unclear whether the plus que parfait is required or whether the passé composé can be used following a phrase. La veille, nous avions découvert la verité. (example) Are these correct? Nous avons découvert la verité le jour précédent. Le jour d’avant, nous avons découvert la verité. Nous aurions dû découvrir la verité la veille de son mort. Nous aurions pu découvrir la verité le jour précédent, mais nous avons raté les indices. Il a découvert la verité la veille de son mort. I know that's a lot. Thanks for any guidance.
