Is there a rule as to whether à or de follows a verb?

Should this sentence read ‘Quand on ouvre leur porte’?

If not, please explain. Thanks.

Pour le premier, j'ai choisi 1a, mais kwiziq a dit que la réponse 1b ("You've") est exacte. Pourquoi  ? En anglais, "you've had" veut dire "you have had", à peu près un temps parfait. Est-ce-qu'il aurait du que la correcte réponse soit 1a: "You had a little brother" ?

Since the reference to the laboratory is general, why is it not en laboratoire? In the lesson being dans la classe is specific but en classe is general....

what is the meaning of  "par où"?  is it different when used relative pronouns or noun clause? I can'not undertand it???

If opinions are expressed in the imparfait or plusque parfait, why are the two statements representing “I always loved” and “I always found that magical” in the passé composé?

Nicole, I do not see a ‘vocabulary themes’ tab. Where is that?
