Se rappeler avec ou sans “de” ou “des”For a question on the topic of rappeler and souvenir the use of “de” is tested. I gave the response " Vous vous rappelez Îles Cyclades" and did not use rappelez “des” but this was marked incorrect. All discussion communicates that "de" is not needed or is optional after "rappeler" except for stressed pronoun. This is in contrast to requiring “de” after se souvenir. I am trying to understand why "des" is needed in this situation.

Overuse of le futur antérieurI don't see any reason to strain for the futur antérieur when there is no change in subject. It sounds unnatural. Maybe I talk with the wrong French people.

Use of "en" I don't really understand why "en" is used in this example, even after having reviewed the lesson you mention. Where does "de" come into it? "If I had a house", for example, would be "Si j'avais une maison" - not "Si j'en avais une maison, surely? In this case, the use of "en" seems to be rather random!

Not always required in written French, actually.

" Notice that although ne is always required in written French. "

In games like Pokemon they can omit the " ne, " rather than having all the characters speak more formally all the time. So it's not always required, is it? Not in character dialogue.

sans que vs sans seulementAvec the tradition de "without me changing my mind," the réponse correct c'est: sans que je change mon avis. Mais, est-ce que cette réponse est bon aussi: sans m'avoir changé d'avis? Si non, pourquoi pas?
