i WANT HOW SAY DO YOU LIVE

The sentence starting with - 

Oui, le buffet est ouvert - 

Do you not pronounce the second syllable of buffet?

Is it possible to use "garder [le] secret" ? English is not my native language, I'm russian.

Tu sais, le célèbre couturier ?  Why is "sais" used rather than "connaiss”? I thought:  Savoir means "to know a fact", while connaître means to know a person or to be familiar with a person, place or thing.  Merci!

1.       Ses déclarations étranges auront déconcerté le public.

how to write this in passive form?

As a paying customer of Kwiziq, I wish to be able to have a physical print out of the lessons I want to review.  It's easier for me to read than from the computer screen.....    

Why the conditional, auraient, here?  Why not the pluperfect similar to pouvaient?

English sentence - one of Guadeloupe's most beautiful beaches with its postcard white sand and coconut trees.

Kwiziq answer - l'une des plus belles plages de Guadeloupe avec son sable blanc et ses cocotiers de carte postale.

Why is ‘de carte postale’ used with cocoiters (coconut trees) and not sable (sand)? The English sentence uses postcard white sand, not post card coconut trees

Could anyone explain the use of 'nous' in the second example but not in the first. I would see the constructions as similar.

Is the use of 'nous' in these cases optional?

Thanks guys

I must admit I often find the 'short lessons' on here a little confusing because of the coloured lines. This one is particularly bad. I cannot see if the text with green lines is supposed to relate to the text with orange lines above it or below it. Essentially, why are the coloured lines there? They only confuse. Marking explanations with one colour and examples with another is pointless; we can see what is what. What we cannot see is what pertains to what. It would be fine if you gave some examples with red lines then an explanation also with a red line, so we know it refers to the 'red lined' examples. Then, further examples with a different colour together with an explanation with the same colour. This way we know what refers to what.
