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.

Le mot « marin » dans cette dictée sonnait comme « mar ». 

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 “?

How do I take a quiz on relative pronouns?

I translated this as 'Il était incroyable hier' - but it was marked wrong, citing the correct answer as, 'Il a été hier'    why? Even when I put it into a translator it says it should be était. What am I missing?

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).

Beaucoup d’expressions et de pensées utiles rassemblées de manière à m’aider à me souvenir comment les écrire. Merci !

I really need to focus on THIS topic, not just answer two easy questions and then be forced back into the standard quiz mode where I will forget what I am trying to learn. Why can’t I just focus on this topic?  Help!

And could you have had à qui rather than auquel in the same sentence ?

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 ?
