How do we know that he was not carrying in dirty shoes that were expected to be clean. 

How would one say, "He came in, the shoes were dirty.", not meaning HIS shoes? 

There IS ambiguity as to whose shoes they belong to.

I am still trying to figure out when to use "de" vs du or de la. In the sentence "qui a servi de résidence papal....." Why is it not "de la" as this seems to be a very specific thing and not a general category.

Thanks in advance

Could I say- c'etait plus mieux que ses reves?

or 

C'etait meme mieux que dans ses reves.

Why '' encore''?

pour m'aider à  rester motivée.  Pourquoi cette phrase utilise deux infinitifs?

Et toi, comment vas-tu?-I think this is how the correct version is

And you, how are you?

When to use ‘je me sens’ and when ‘je sens’!  The question was "Je ne sens rien." can mean?: and one correct answer was 'I don’t feel anything'.  I thought that was incorrect as ‘me’ was needed for ‘feel' , but seemingly not, so when is it?  Couldf someone explain please? 

Why do you say "Nous mangeons de l'agneau" instead of "Nous mangeons d'agneau"? I thought lamb was masculin.

Selon un etude....parleraient ,  je le comprends

Mais why does it say , un peu plus tard Dan  cette phrase, "la meme etude....'a' le plus grandre nombre."  Il ne devrait pas plutot dire "ait" or est ce car le phrase dit "a decouvert"  donc it is certain so not conditionnel

Is there somewhere to view my answers to the written exercises.  I am a bit stumped as I pretty sure I managed (finally) to ace my last effort and would like to compare my responses.Thanks
