after "il faut que" subjonctif passé

can't ı say that "Il faut qu’elle soit partie avant midi."= she must have finished your homework...
title of the lesson is "Il faut que is always followed by Le Subjonctif Présent"
I think it must be uncorrect

Just a small typo here. It of course should be “about France” or “about the French”.

Could vs. would- comment not question

It would be helpful to point out the use of could as well as would. Yes, there is one example using could, but for me at least, this didn't sink in until just now, and I have a high score on this lesson. More examples, plus pointing this out in the body of the lesson would be very useful.

The one example:

S'ils économisaient plus, ils pourraient se permettre des vacances.

If they saved more, they could afford holidays.

use of future vers future proche

Is it acceptable to use future proche for this article. For example, I think I said 'Je vais rendre visite ... ' rather than 'Je rendrai visite'. Is the event discussed too far in the future to be able to use the future proche?

Thanks

Megan

Tartine vs tranches du painI seem to recall in a recent exercise, probably one of this weekend's workout that tranche du (de) pain was the preferred answer for toast and that tartine was also given as a possibility. In this exercise, tartine was the only acceptable translation for a slice of toast. Is this an oversight?
