This is based upon previous tests. In one, the correct answer is given as "Ce qui me touche,c'est son pauvrete." In another test, the answer is said to be "Ce que je trouve angoissant, c'est son mode de vie." These seem to me to be very similar but in one there is "ce qui" and in the other, "ce que" I thought I understood this issue but the difference between these questions makes me a bit confused. Could you possibly take the time to explain why they are different from one another? It may take more than a referral back to the lesson. Thank you!

Past conditional

Why is it 'Elle aurait eu froid sans son manteau' and not 'aurait été froid'?

Thank you.

addendum to previous question concerning "avoir hate":

I also notice that the dictionary gives the following English translations of "avoir hate": "to be anxious to", "to be looking forward to", "to be in a hurry to", but does NOT give "I can't wait to". Any comment?

Using avoir in future anterior

Why is this incorrect?

They will have been experts in their field

Elles auront été .....

When I click on 'explain this' I see conjugation of avoir in future anterior. But the question said I should use être not avoir. One of the examples given has the same construction. Why cant I use avoir? I'm confused now how to form ' will have been. Advice appreciated

Thanks

Le Conditionnel PasséIn the weekend workout for 29 January 2021 in the B1 translation there is a sentence ‘the things I would have done with that money’. I translated this as ‘les choses que j’aurais fait avec cet argent’ the best answer given is ‘les choses que j’aurai faites avec cet argent’. Why is aurai used as it’s not conditional and why is the past participle fait of faire not used.

J'ai toujours voulu être danseuse

J'ai toujours voulu être danseuse - I always wanted to be a dancer.

Please remind me why this sentence is passé composé. It seems to me that it is something that she always used to want i.e. it describes a past continuous state of mind. I understood that verbs such as vouloir (and aimer, penser, savoir etc) usually use the imparfait (unless a specific time is specified), and that if anything the case for imparfait would be strengthened by adding "toujours" which implies a habitual state. So I was wondering why she didn't say "Je voulais toujours être danseuse" instead. Thanks.
