This lesson is more confusing than it needs to be.You state there are two different structures involved here. In fact there are four:
1. "rappeler + person one's reminded of + à + person being reminded" ;
2 "me/te/lui/nous/vous/leur + rappeler + person one is reminded of " ;
3 "rappeler + à + person being reminded + de + [infinitif]";
4 "me/te/lui/nous/vous/leur + rappeler + de + [infinitif] "
Could this not be split into two lessons referring to A - 1 and 2, then B - 3 and 4? That would give struggling students the opportunity to crack each structure individually. As it stands, one has to hold and identify four structures simultaneously.
Or am I missing something? Is there a hidden logic that I have failed to spot?
The theory says these are interchangeable yet I used malgré and was marked wrong
I got this question wrong in a test on another site. Unfortunately no explanation was given. Can someone tell me why there is no agreement when faire is used in this case as a past participle ?
Les modifications que j'ai faites apporter au projet sont approuvées. (Marked wrong)
Les modifications que j'ai fait apporter au projet sont approuvées. (The right answer)
What is wrong with saying "j’ai trouvé le livre d'enfants"?
I was also thrown by this sentence because at first sight it contains the phrase "bien entendu". I guess the "bien" is qualifying "j’ai entendu parler", but does it mean something more than just "J'avais entendu parler de ce nouveau poste" ?
I was surprised by the phrase “ Ce que j’aime le plus avec Albertville “ Is it equally correct to say, “ Ce que j’aime le plus à Albertville “?
Two Kwiz questions linked to this lesson give the above construction for "go there" - can y aller be used instead? Is there a distinction?
She wants you to go there = Elle veut que tu ailles là-bas
Do you want me to go there? = Veux-tu que j’aille là-bas ?

Even google nor Deepl could translate it correct, so I had no chance!
How can "Ils partent leur travail à 17 h" be wrong and only "Ils quittent leur travail à 17 h" be right? I don't see a specific rule as this type of question was used for both parter and quitter.
