Instead of “Après s'être levé, William alla prendre sa douche” would it be correct to use the passé composé instead of the passé simple? 

“Après s'être levé, William est allé prendre sa douche”.

Merci

Is the use of "en" is necessary in the following phrase: "j'ai pu rapidement en constater les effets sur ma facture d'électricité."   

Thought “dans” was used when it is an event in the future????  Am I wrong to assume this???

In the case where demeurer is used to mean to physically remain in a location, does it take avoir or être? This usage doesn't seem to be a verbe d'état, because a location isn't really a state or an attribute... or is it?

Larousse uses the example « La voiture est demurée au garage ». In this case, is au garage a state? Is demeurer being used as a verb of state?

Grevisse (§814 b 4°) makes it even more fun, with « [...] en France, où j'ai demeuré quelque temps » and then « je n'étais pas [...] demeuré à Paris ». Why use avoir with the first, but être with the second?

Thanks for taking the time to shed some light on this!

Why is it "disparaisse" and not "ait disparu"? Because at the time of the story being told (two days before she disappeared) she had not yet disappeared?

How do I add lesson pages and Kwiz answers to a notebook?

This lesson is confusing because you seem to be using regular and irregular adverbs so the crux of the point is lost on me.

I wonder, what's the matter with question 1 in the quiz. I answered it 4 or 5 times and each time the result was the same three out of four! But I didn't mark the answer which says ICECREAMS, so I'm disappointed 

Why ",elles aussi," why not .....qui aussi sont.......
