Bonjour,

Can you please explain why our house would use the nous pronoun instead of the possesive on of notres, as the house belongs to us?

Merci

All through the piece "news" is translated as "infos" except in the last sentence when it is "nouvelles".  Any special reason for this, beyond some idiosyncrasy  of language?

I’m having real difficulty pronouncing this sentence  and I’m wondering whether in conversation the « ne » is dropped to ease pronunciation.

Nous nous l'imaginons blonde aux yeux bleus

Can't you just say "Nous l'imaginons..."

Position of adverbs.

In a multiple choice question, I was presented with "plus tard" at the beginning of a sentence.

"Plus tard, elle te parlera."

This lesson does not teach this, or did I miss something?

Sidenote...to my ear this sentence sounded correct...I had selected it then checked the lesson, when I did not see this particular construction discussed I reversed my decision. I can hear myself saying "she will talk to you later" in French this way.

In the writing challenge "Les noces d'or de mes grands-parents" the phrase "Et ce qu'ils se sont déclaré était tellement émouvant" appears. Why is there no plural agreement on the verb "déclaré "?

It sees to be the same case as this example in the lesson "Conjugate reflexive verbs (+être) in Le Passé Composé (conversational past)":

Elles se sont disputées = They had an argument.

Is it because the verb has an object which precedes it and the rule of agreement with a prior object takes precedence over the rule of agreement with the subject?

Something like case 3 1/2 here:https://www.lawlessfrench.com/grammar/agreement-with-pronominal-verbs/
