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. 

Salut! Why is it not “je jouais avec Elsa pendant quelques heures..” as it is happening continuously over a period of time? Why is it passé composé in this context? 

Hi... can you please give me the correct way   : 

C'est la ville et le village de mes ancêtres , OR

Ce sont la ville et le village de mes ancêtres

...and why... thank you in advance :)

Can you simply move an adjective before a noun and then use 'de'? Or does using 'de' before the adjective only occur when using an adjective that actually goes before the noun?

i.e. Can we say "the white houses" either way? des maisons blanches or de blanches maisons

For: The girls have just left  can I use Les fils viennent de partir AND Les fils viennent de partir.

My question is about bien que.  Sorry if this the wrong place to bring it up, but Jameson brought it up.  

I had thought that bien que was a trigger for the subjonctive.

I went to Larousse to look at bien que:

https://www.larousse.fr/dictionnaires/francais-anglais/bien/9074

bien que

locution conjonctive

   despite the fact that, although, though

  bien que malade, il a tenu à y aller    although he was ill, he insisted on going

NOT the subjonctive

https://www.collinsdictionary.com/us/dictionary/french-english/bien-que

bien que  CONJONCTION

although

Il fait assez chaud bien qu’il n’y ait pas de soleil. It’s quite warm although there’s no sun.  subjonctive

So, please can someone explain this to me?

How would you say "I'm going to get my nails done today." ? I thought "Je vais me faire faire les ongles aujourd'hui ", but am not sure.

One of the quiz questions was "Le Comte Dracula habite _____________ Roumanie.

I wrote "en la" because I assumed, per the regular rule, that Romania is feminine (therefore takes -en) and is a country, not a city, and would require the article "la".  Since the sentence is not about going-to or coming/being-from, it would require the article, n'est-ce pas?
