 Is there a difference between

"Je me réveille à sept heures du matin tous les jours"

and

"Je me réveille tous les jours à sept heures du matin" ?

How do I know if I need the article in the statement

...mais je suis tres mauvais en musique

...par plus heures de science

Hey! Can someone explain to me as to why we include the "à" after "pas" in this sentence? Thanks.

Nous ne nous attendions pas à une telle déception!

Hello

Could you please explain why the pronoun 'en' is used in this phrase? I am having difficulty recognising when to use en and what it means in this context. Thanks.

....et en acceptèrent la langue

The English given is: I almost got there late. Why isn't it J'ai failli y arriver en retard?

Vous laissez tomber = You drop? Is that a valid alternative?

Why is 'rejoint ' used in the question: Qui te rejoint...? or  'vient' in Qui Vient manger?  Can any other conjugation of the verb be used? 

This is a bit of an indirect question related to this lesson about "aprés avoir fait".

The sentence used in the quiz is: "Lucette changea les draps aprés avoir fait le lit." This got me wondering about "changea" and what verb form it is, why we wouldn't say "Lucette a changé les draps aprés avoir fait le lit." But on further reading I see that this is just the difference between a form used in conversation French (passé composé - which perhaps most learners come across first) vs written French (passé simple - which learners come across later..?)

My other question is whether the sentence should actually read: "Aprés avoir changé les draps, Lucette fis / a fait le let." You change the sheets before making the bed, right?
