Tu viendras me voir aprés avoir mangé ton dessert.This is the quiz question it was applicable to: Tu viendras me voir ________ ton dessert. (You'll come and see me when you've eaten your dessert.) ->quand tu auras mangé
Aside from the fact that the response does not follow the sense of the lesson, does this not express the same thought: Tu viendras me voir après avoir mangé ton dessert.?

I understand that "Il ne mange rien" is the correct order of words...But does the order change if the verb tense changes? Can I say " Il n'a rien mangé?

wrong answer "nous sommes brossé"

Nous ______________ les cheveux.

We brushed our hair.

HINT: Conjugate "se brosser" (to brush) using Le Passé Composé.

avons brossé / se sommes brossés / nous avons brossés / nous sommes brossé

========================================================

It is stated the correct answer is "nous sommes brossé". However, it is a mistake.

The verb must agree with the subject when it is conjugated with 'être'. In this case, there are a reflexive verb, which has to be conjugated with 'être', and subject 'nous'. Hence, the correct answer is "nous sommes brossés".

I would appreciate your comments on this.

using arrivée instead of arrivé

In the sentences Ils attendent son arrivée and Ils s'attendent à son arrivée ... why use the feminine arrivée, when Ils (not elles) is the subject and HE is the one arriving. Merci

Check audio for 'Tu fais du sport?'. Does not seem correct.

Le chat, auquel tu as fait peur, s'est caché sous le lit.I notice in the above examples, that the sentence talking about a cat is only translated using auquel. Is 'à qui' not applicable here? Is a cat not treated as a living thing in this instance? Thanks for your help!

Extra Words - Unnecessary?A sentence like "Tu as reçu une lettre qui est de ta cousine." seems a little wordy. Is it correct (or incorrect) to just say "Tu as reçu une lettre de ta cousine." ? Merci beaucoup!
