Why is this phrase conjugated with être instead of avoir? "Jusqu'à ce que nous soyons réouvert l'appétit" en place de "jusqu'à ce que nous ayons réouvert l'appétit."

is it correct ?

Hello,

I was doing some French exercises and I encountered this sentence: c'est le livre dont la lecture je te conseille" (my job was just to select a pronoun here). Anyway I thought it should be: c'est le livre dont je te conseille la lecture. It confused me, which one is correct ?

Listening practice

No two ways about it, listening practice is everything. Took me a while to get my lug (ear to an English person) around this dictation but pleased with the results.

Ooh la-la

I wonder, is the object of this sentence ("la" in) "Tu la suis, ou quoi?" (Are you following her, or what?) part of an expression; a special kind of object pronoun; or just the article for an unspoken feminine object of the sentence (fille/dame)?

color adjectives sometimes singular sometimes plural

Why are the color adjectives for the flowers singular but not for the lilies?
