I believe it would be better to replace "behind" with "after" to be consistent with the use of "before" in the following paragraph :
J'ai regardé la fille. la fille is the object of ai regardé but it's behind, so no agreement.I watched the girl.
-> Je l'ai regardée. l' replaces la fille -feminine/singular- and it's before the verb, so agreement.
I watched her.

J'ai eu peur que nous ________ trop tard
I answered "ne soyons arrivés" but this was marked wrong. "Soyons arrivés" was given as corrrect.
Am I missing something with the expletive "ne" (which I do find a bit confusing!) Could you explain?

Using the term non-verbal here is very confusing, as it seems like you are saying it should only be written and not spoken. Perhaps you could change it to read nominal sentences? A nominal sentence is one without an expressed verb. It would avoid the confusion.
Je ne voir aucun assiettes. Apparenty it should be assiette. Why does the noun have be singular? I don't see any PLATES!
Quand je serai grand, puis-je être aussi cool que ces enfants?
In the above question the answer is cela,. Can it is alternatively written as " je le lui ai promis "
I echo the comments below regarding this lesson lacking clarity.
The explanation of when it IS appropriate to use 'devoir' is missing and I find it easier to just memorise the correct answers rather than try to answer them using knowledge of the grammar rules.
