I answered like this, il le lui a refusé? Il le nous a refusé aussi, I was wrong. What went wrong, please? 

The conjugation that you provide includes the following line:

il / elle / on    est apparu(e)(s)

Under which circumstances would it be valid to have "est apparus" or "est apparues"? Or is the "(s)" redundant?

My immediate instinct was to use "Attention ! Le mélange ne devrait pas trop chaud," but it was marked incorrect. In this particular context, is there a hard reason why it is better to use "Le mélange ne doit pas être trop chaud" instead? 

Why does the last sentence use the impersonal construction, "Pourquoi se priver" instead of "nous priver"? 

Also, I translated "namely" as "en l'occurrence" but that wasn't one of the accepted answers (only "nommément" and "à savoir"). Is there a difference?

Would it be correct to use the three-layer structure I wrote down below, when building sentences with double pronouns? Imagine it like a matrix with three columns:

ME, TE, SE, NOUS, VOUS   |   LE, LA, LES   |   LUI, LEUR

Ex  Nous vous | les envoyons demain. | e_m_p_t_y

Ex  e_m_p_t_y | Je la | leur explique clairement.

Ex  Je vous | la donne. | e_m_p_t_y

Ex  e_m_p_t_y | Je la | lui donne.

The partitive article isn't use here? "Jambon, fromage et pain maison"?

Thanks

Judging by the comments below and my own experience of this lesson i think it could still be tweaked to improve it.  It think it would be helpful to: 

* add - write out - relevant (new to some) vocabulary for decimals, commas and currencies

* emphasise how the rules for writing numbers in French are the same (or different) when used for currencies vs other contexts

* provide and describe a few more complex examples, including the outliers (eg uncommon use of a decimal point in French), with at least one example of a French number which translates to three or more decimal points in English. The latter would be very useful because it highlights how our Eng/French translation brain can get confused (evident in these discussions) because it looks identical to the English version of numbers in the thousands.
