This is doing my head in... My grammar exercise book has:

1. Nous devons fermer tous les volets. -> Nous devons tous les fermer.

2. Elle va faire toutes ses courses au supermarché. -> Elle va toutes les faire.

BUT

3. Nous souhaitons recevoir tous nos amis pour notre anniversaire de mariage. -> Nous souhaitons les recevoir tous.

My textbook gives no explanation as to why tous/toutes comes before the object pronoun in 1,2 but after the infinitive in 3.

Can I say, "Vas-tu a ta chambre? Cache-t'y!" as y refers to a ta chambre? All grammar books seem to indicate that y replaces a + noun (except persons).

Hello, for this question: 

Marie nous rejoindra ________ le restaurant. Marie will meet up with us when we've left the restaurant.

The correct answer is: quand nous aurons quitté 

I answered: quand nous serons quitté, as I would say nous sommes quitté le restaurant. 

 Many thanks!

The title of the note is grammatically incorrect: "Learn how to conjugate *of* conduire". Sowt it arrrt

In the last sentence, why does 'de' precede amener?  ie. why not "mon but est amener les gens..."

I have a notebook and I have added these two lessons.

Un/une become de/d' in negative sentences in French (French Indefinite Articles)

Du/de la/de l'/des all become de/d' in negative sentences (French Partitive Articles)

I went through several rounds of Kwiziq tests and I only get tested on the basic rules, never on the "ATTENTION" or "EXCEPTION" subsections of these lessons.

I got a score of 100%, but it feels like The app should also offer me test on these other topics.

How can I get more tests for these exceptions?

Example of rules I have never been offered any tests

This rule does NOT apply to sentences using the verb être and other List of French "state verbs" - "verbes d'état", with which the indefinite article doesn't change:

OR

When you want to emphasise the meaning of ONE (un/une) - not just a/an - as in He doesn't have ONE car, but TWO, you will keep un/une in the negative sentence - here it doesn't mean no/any:

I *think* I understand when to use “avoir besoin de” or “devoir”, but how/where does “falloir” work? (Note: I asked a similar question in the lesson on “falloir”)
