Verbs that lose their prepositions with an object

I see that some verbs that take de or à and the infinitive drop the preposition when an object follows the verb. As an example, choisir de drops the preposition when referring to an object as follows:

Je choisis de partir

Je choisis la cérise

As opposed to rêver that keeps its preposition in both cases:

Je rêve de partir

Je rêve du paradis

Is there a rule for this?

Sentence Missing In Audio

In the "full text for you to read and listen to" at the end of the exercise, the 5th sentence in the dialog "- Avez-vous besoin de voir le menu ?" is shown in the text but is missing in the audio. The audio is present in the individual section of the exercise.

I see this was addressed in N. Hillary's question/comment from 6 months ago.

When to use Futur Simple and Futur Antérieur?

Hello,

I learnt in another lesson that after "Quand" usually + Futur simple (Quand/pendant que + future tense (Le Futur Simple) - not the present tense = When/while I do something in the future (Sequence of Tenses in French) ), but in this lesson it is + Futur Antérieur. So how do you know when to + which tense?

Or are there cases where they can be used interchangeably?

Thank you.
