French language Q&A Forum

We are asked to use the historic present for one small section and then revert to the past tenses. I’m not clear why there is that change. Whenever I have seen the historic present used at various sites, they maintain it all the way through.

« Les cloches sont passées ce matin pour apporter les œufs de Pâques » but in the other quizz « Il a passé l’hiver dernier à Chamonix ». In my mind it should be avoir in both sentences. 

Since the lesson title includes (+ avoir ), the reference to se méprendre  + auxiliary verb être ,  would be very helpful.

Pouquoi le mot "regorgeant" ne s'accorde pas avec le nom féminin "la carte"? J'ai écrit : "de la carte regorgeante de plats".

In the lesson on the above topic, it states that if "passer" is followed by a direct object, it uses "avoir" in the passé composé.

Elle est passée chez Laurent hier.She passed by Laurent's place yesterday.
Here, passer is followed by a direct object, yet uses "être".Should the translation be:  Elle est passée par chez Laurent hier?This example seems to contradict the rule, even though it is a verb of motion in this sentence. Should have a preposition.

Why is "Mais ils sont venus me dire bonjour plus tôt" marked wrong in favor of "Mais ils sont venus me dire bonjour toute à l'heure?"

During the exercise, the correct phrase was given as "toutes informations supplémentaires", but in the post-test summary it was "toute information supplémentaire". I think the plural form is correct. Am I right?
