I was how to rephrase "Je me souviens de votre frere" and I answered "Je me rappelle de votre frere". This was scored as incorrect, with the correct response given as "Je me rappelle votre frere". Aren't both "se rappeler de" and "se rappeler" correct?

Bien et Tout

Again, the use of little words like "bien" and "tout" are common in French and not direct translations from English. A unit explaining the uses of these two simple words would be really helpful.

"Il a bien compris." "Il a tout compris." "J'en ai bien envie." "Elle est tout heureuse." "Il y a bien de choses." "Il est a des kilometres de toute trace de civilisation."

Not trying to be a pest, but I would really like to master these simple little words and phrases to feel closer to fluent. Thanks.

Correct tense?"Avant qu'ils ne partent s'installer là-bas"

Why is the subjonctif présent of "partir" used in the above sentence when the sentence refers to the past tense? It was written in English as "Before they went to live over there". Why is it not "Avant qu'ils ne soient partis s'installer là-bas" ? Can someone please enlighten me? Thank you.

There had to be - passé composé?

I know this lesson is about the plus que parfait but to say "had to", can you also use the passé composé? For example, he had to leave before 5. "Il a dû partir à 5 heures.

Regarde! Elle bâille! Quelqu'un est fatigue

Good trick. Ya got me. Quelqu'un clearly refers to Elle, yet it remains masculine. Really? In real life? They're standing looking at a little girl.
