Chris' comment below about modal verbs (All modal verbs, like pouvoir or devoir require the infinitive, no matter which tense or mode they are in.) was an eye-opener for me as to how pouvoir and devoir fit in the big picture. Perhaps a short paragraph about modal verbs in general would be useful to others. Thanks!

I wonder if the audio file for "Nous peignons ensemble" is correct.  It sounded like "peignions" to me, and it doesn't sound the same as in the youtube.  Or are there two different pronunciations for "peignons"?

From the lesson:

J'en ai rachete, juste au cas ou. And "with juste au cas ou, youn can only use Le Conditional.  

But the conditional is j'aurais achete or is this s typo?

Why in this case there isn't an agreement? Should it be

il nous a laissés partir.

Thank you.

This part of the lesson is really messing with my learning process. Please answer me this....In the example, "Tu manques à Lise", IS it or IS IT NOT "Lise misses you."  ???

In this lesson there is an example of passer in passé compose using être:

Ma tante est passée par la boulangerie... 

and using avoir:

Nous avons passé une bonne semaine...

I can't see an explanation for this and I'm confused

I found a sentence "Voyons ce qu’a fait Caillou aujourd’hui."

I wonder why it is not "Voyons ce que Caillou a fait aujourd’hui."
