Agreement in gender and number?

Do these adjectives always agree in gender and number to the object it refers to?

I think the answer is yes, looking at the examples given, but as it is not specifically written (like in other lessons), it's always good to confirm!

tu vs vousThe question required the use of "you" but did specify which you. The correct answer was given as " que vous ne soyez" I wrote " Que tu ne sois" and was marked wrong. Not clear why?

futur Anterieur

The English translations of the futur anterieur listed here don't make sense to me. For example, "you will have been able to sing on stage" -- what does that even mean?

It does make more sense if the word "would'' was used in the English translation. As in: "If you had been there, you would have been able to sing on stage." But to use "will" doesn't seem correct.

Inversion in conditional

I have a question I'm learning about the inversion in the conditional present and I was wondering about these two sentences?

Why do you not conjugate passer?

(Could we) passer Chez vous après le spectacle? Pourrions- nous is the answer

But with this sentence

(Would he) signer cette pétition? Signerait- il would be the answer

I'm very confused and help would be greatly appreciated

Thanks

Nicole

To pitch a tent

Is the expression “planter une tente” out of date or is the concept slightly different ? I checked in the Oxford Dictionary for “to pitch a tent” and that’s what it came up with. In a way “monter une tente” makes perfect sense so i’m curious about “planter”
