I did not see mention or explication of en also meaning to.
Why is the passé composé used here?
The video won't play; there is a message on the screen:" NULL If the owner of this video has granted you access, please sign in"
Perhaps even in another lesson on this site, but certainly in other references have seen 'le Zaïre' as an exception to the "-e rule" - I believe it is also masculine and should be added to the list in this lesson. For example https://www.lawlessfrench.com/vocabulary/countries-and-continents/

in the beginning of the text, could you not say, 'Je travaillais pour une organisation internationale'? it goes on say 'développions' rather than 'nous avons dévelopé...
Can qui be used instead of ce qui in the sentence
ce qui lui donnait les joues une douce teinte rosée
I don't understand the tense of this verb "venus" used in this sentence
Un festival de courts métrages venus des quatre coins de la planète.
A festival of short films came from 4 corners of the planet.

By your lesson, these should all be “à” (what something is designed for), but in fact this whole genre is “de”.

Clearly, these are not just a few exceptions, but an entire class of compound nouns (open form, noun+noun) that is not covered in the lesson.
Thank you.
