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

J'ai besoin d'aller faire les courses

There are a couple of examples where it says "aller faire les ...". Is this really needed, or at least natural in French? Would it make a difference to say "Je dois faire les courses", or "J'ai besoin de faire les courses"?

Futur vs ConditionnelOne quiz reads:"Tu _____ m'aider après manger ?" (Will you be able to help me after eating?) and we're supposed to enter Le Futur of "pouvoir". But why Futur? As there appears to be some doubt as to whether the person addressed can help, why aren't we using Le Conditionnel ?

"On attendait mieux de vous" - why wouldn't this be reflexive, as it expresses expectation?

à/en bicyclette

Since one can use à or en with vélo, does that mean one can also use both with bicyclette?

"Everyone" vs "every one"I think that English speakers get confused between "everyone" and "every one". Perhaps this lesson might include usage of the phrase "tout en chacun"?
