Hi. I am confused about some of the sentences in this lessonSome sentences seem very similar to "will have" (futur antérrior) and I can't tell the difference. For example: Apparemment, ils seraient partis ce matin. Apparently, they would have left this morning. Selon Tom, elles seraient rentrées chez elles vers 3 heures. According to Tom, they would have come home around 3. Why would you not say"According to Tom, they will have come home around 3" or "Apparently they will have left this morning"?

What is the difference between the use of le/la meme and pareil?I know that one can say "C'est le/la meme." for "It is the same." Can you not also say "C'est pareil/pareille?

The passé composé or the plus- que- parfait depends on same subject or different subject .Après qu'il est rentré chez lui, il s'est couché. MAIS Après que son ami était parti, il s'est couché. [His friend had left when he went to bed.]

synonymous or separate?The lesson states that using the pronoun "on" is equivalent to using the pronoun "nous" to indicate "we", but when appearing in a quiz it says that using "nous" is incorrect and "on" is correct. If there is a significant difference in usage, then it should be explained in the lesson, as it fails to do so. If it states that they are synonymous and exchangeable in use, then correction needs to be to that effect. I can't learn how to use them for what they mean when in dictation they are one thing but are another thing entirely when put into practice.

J'ai su que tu étais venu me voir? I found out that you had come to see me.Is this a usual way to say I found out. Why is the verb trouver or perhaps découvrir not used?

placement of adverb in passé composéthis is from one of the B1 tests. why is 'j'ai lu seulement des romans français' correct? shouldn't it be 'j'ai seulement lu des romans français'?
