Can someone tell me what the difference between trop de(too much) and tant de(so much) is? I know the meanings of both , but unsure how to use them in sentences.

Still no indirect speech (voix indirecte)It's great that I am taught the conjugation of the verb "moudre" and "coudre", yet there's still no lesson on reported/indirect speech. In my opinion that is a big omission since that one comes up much more frequently in all kinds of situations than I will ever use the verb moudre. I would really appreciate a series of lessons on that topic. Greetings, -- Chris.

Example "Nous étions restés bons amis..."

Regarding this example:

Nous étions restés bons amis, jusqu'à ce qu'il la rencontre.We'd remained good friends, until he met her.

...should it not be

Nous étions restés bons amis, jusqu'à ce qu'il l'a rencontrée.

...?

Le goût des autres

I've re-read the lesson on when to use "d'autres" and "des autres" and I don't quite understand why "the taste of others" is "le goût des autres". I thought that would only be the case if it was specific other people "the taste of the others", and in the case of this film title it should be "le goût d'autres" - a general case of the taste of unspecified others. What am I missing here please?

Confusion with ne...pas.Confusion with ne....pas. First I thought always de after ne... pas. Then I read there is an exception when être is used. Use un/une. What is happening then in this example?Les filles jouent au foot? Non, elles ne jouent pas au foot. Is there a lesson that explains all the options?
