suggestion for creating/improving lessons

Based on the user questions here as well as on some other lessons, it seems Kwiziq would be well served to have some learners review the lessons to see if they are clear enough. I know I've seen quite a few pages that were unclear due to insufficient explanation or examples. (I just finished 4 semesters of French, so I'm not really learning but trying not to let it slip away. Still, I have noticed lessons that aren't as clear and/or complete as they could be.)

agreement of past participle with verb in number

why is it (nous) sommes alles but nous avons adore... Why does alles correspond to the 2 people involved but adore is singular. I don't recall the lesson in which the verb does or does not agree with the number in the subject. (and why can't I type accents in this part of the program???)

Pense que ? Confused, again!

«Il pense avoir fini ce rapport d'ici jeudi.

He thinks he'll have finished this report by Thursday».

«ATTENTION

When using verbs of opinions such as penser (to think) and croire (to believe) to say 'I believe that / I think that' in French, you always need to put que ('that') after them, whereas in English you can sometimes omit it.»

The first quote is an example from this lesson, the second from the lesson on penser que, croire que. Although the English translation in the lesson doesn't include 'that', it is implied and seems to meet the previously noted rule that 'pense que' should always be used in French. I also don't understand why it would not be 'pense qu'il avoir fini'? What am I missing? Thanks

To meet

I ai utilisé "se réunir" au lieu de "se retrouver" ou "se rejoindre" mais ce choix n'était pas accepté ? Pourquoi ?

Pronounciation of moins extraverti

Bonjour. I notice that the 's' of moins is not pronounced even though a vowel follows. Is this just a rule, that you don't 'faire la liaison' with the word 'moins'?

What is wrong here?

Hang on, the example says les chats voient dans la nuit so why is Les chats gris voient dans la nuit wrong and the wanted answer Les chats gris voient la nuit?

De decorerIn this example: "Nous finissons de décorer la pièce", I noticed that decorer is preceeded by "de." Would the sentence translate to "We finish to decorate the room" if you were to remove the "de"?
