In the examples, demeurer seems to reverse the être-avoir rule as to which it takes with direct and indirect objects. How come?

Il a fait beau tous le temps.

Why is it not "Il FAISAIT beau tous le temps"? It so describes a condition that continued for the duration of the weekend and that sets the event in the weather of the sojourn.

how do pronominal verbs work?I have no problems with "se laver" or "se promener" - these are things you're doing to yourself. But "s'attaquer", "se moquer", "s'écrier" (attacking, making fun of, crying at) ? Those are done to others, so why are they pronominal?

Oops: the question is “Je suis contente. Non, je ne suis pas du tout contente.”

I wrote “Non, je ne suis pas contente du tout” and this answer was accepted as nearly correct. Why, what is the difference? I thought the two expressions are interchangeable.

thank you

Passe compose for a reflexive verb.The answer to a question in the Kwiz was "Nous nous sommes brosse" (with an accent). Shouldn't that have been brosses (with an accent)?
