on is a singular for we. It takes an auxillary verb in the singular; therefor the past participle should be single also so it should be on est allé

une boîte aux lettres / une boîte à lettres

une boîte aux lettres / une boîte à lettres -> Letter box, Postbox.

It may be worth addding this to the notes as an exception to these rules. I believe it is used in singular and in the plural ?

Ils n'auraient jamais pu comprendre tes raisons"Ils n'auraient jamais pu comprendre tes raisons" and "Il n'aurait jamais pu comprendre tes raisons". Both sentences sound alike. How to differentiate and write correctly on dictation?

Under the 'Special Cases' section, ne pas sentir or ne sentir pas?Under the 'Special Cases' section, one of the fixed expressions says '-ne pas sentir la rose...', but the examples have the ne ... pas surrounding sentir. Is there a time when it would be 'ne pas sentir ...', or is the expression written that way to show that it is literally 'to not smell'? Thank you for the clarification. Terri

A suggestionI wish there were tests comprised of questions from all the levels -- I find that knowing which material was covered in each section is helping me unconsciously "game" the test. It would be a great way to review all the material (or perhaps just A0-B2).

Why apostrophise?I am aware of the general confusion between "des" the indefinite plural article and "des"="de"+"les" the combination of the "de" with the definite plural article. However, normally neither of them gets apostrophised. Whence the exception here?
