Cet après-midi

I think this is a typo in the last sentence.  It should be "cet après-midi" not "cette".

OK now I get it.OK now I get it. It's "I'm used to..." rather than "I used to..." , so it's "J'ai"for the former and "J'avais" for the latter

The difference between the second two variants ...Is the difference that, in number 1 ‘Qu’est-ce que c’est’ I would just point, whereas the ‘que’ is added if I refer to the object by name?

Verbs + prepositionI am confused here. The question says "arriver" is "to manage". However is "arriver" not "to arrive" and "arriver à" is "to manage"?

Il m'a laissé tomber

The storyteller is a woman.  So, why isn't it "Il m'a laissée tomber"?  The direct object is a woman (feminine) and it appears before avoir in the passé composé.

weekend writing challenge: question about past participle agreementBonjour!, Why didn't the correct answer have an extra "e" on the past participle in the following sentence please, when there is a direct pronoun "me" before the auxillary verb: "mon mari m’avait acheté une belle édition de la pièce d’Oscar Wilde “Salomé”, (mon mari m'avait achetée...?) (assumed that the writer is a woman as she speaks of her husband, & in fact we're later told that the writer is a woman). Cheryl
