Can I say "juste comme" for "just as"?

In this sentence "Nous sommes décidés" is passé composé right?

If so, why do we use this combination of être and décider?

I don't understand how we can just use être and passé composé like this.

Just when I thought I had all this sorted ! In an English novel about a house in France, there are two old derelict buildings one formerly housed pigs and the other was formerly used for making bread. They nick named the first one la maison de cochons and the other la maison du pain. Why the de / du and not just de for both since they are just names ?

There might be an error on a test I just took. The question as written is "Ma mère nous a récompensés pour nous être comportés... The sentence as given shows an agreement between the past participle of récompenser, and the auxilliary, avoir. Is this correct? My instincts say "Non", but perhaps I'm missing something.

The restrictive que in ne ... que can be placed either after the auxiliary verb, or in front of the word it's restricting. You should place que in front of the word you restrict.

Why was it an error when I used “à l’heure” in the writing exercise “My kids’ back to school” B2?

It corrected me with “à temps” (for everything to be ready on time)

Thanks
