The lesson gives the example "Elle me rappelle de Paula" to illustrate that it is not correct to use "de" in sentences like this. But I just encountered a quiz question about the imperfect with reflexive verbs in which the correct answer was "Tu te rappelais de moi."  Why is "de moi" correct, but "de Paula" is not?

This lesson would (will) be much more understandable when it includes (or at least highlights) one example clearly identifying «le futur anterieur» event has occurred before some other event. There is one described in the Q and A example Cécile gives below «Nous vous téléphonerons quand nous serons arrivés = We'll call you when we get there», and some, but not all of the examples above. Many of the examples depend on an implicit, or poorly defined time sequence. With at least one well-defined example - in the lesson, not in another reference, not in the Q and A (a section which is often a mess to navigate through and too easy to miss things in - and noting that the other examples should be interpreted to include similar 'past of the future/future' pairs, this lesson would be considerably improved, in my view.

I'm wondering why it's not correct to say "me présenter à d'autres gens"?  I thought that présenter was followed by the preposition à.

Elle est à New York 

She is in New York

Why can we not say

Elle est dans New York

She is in New York

This lesson is a bit confusing to me.  The grammar rule is stated very clearly but then the examples are confusing.  Just a suggestion but I think to make this lesson less confusing perhaps there could be more explanation of the examples.  Also reading the English translation makes it seem like the what is the subject but then the french translation seems like the what is the complement of the verb.  Then, the example that confused me the most in this lesson was one of the quiz questions.

Does 'ces sont' exist in French or only 'ce sont'?

I have seen differing advice on this across the internet so I'm unsure

Thanks

Hi there, the last example in the video is:

Je donne une pomme à Paul.

Would the replacement with lui be:

Je lui donne une pomme

What if I wanted to replace the une pomme with la, what would the word order be?

Merci!

the statement was just je....... rentre, as there was nothing(chez,dansetc) after rentre i used avoir but it was wrong, so why is there sometimes nothing after rentrer when used with etre?please
