When is the formula "finir + de" used? I noticed this in a few of the examples, where it was "conjugated form of finir + de + infinitive verb" 

The problem is that this lesson just makes the general statement that adjectives that end in -s, double the s and add e for the feminine, whereas the accompanying video states that most adjectives ending in -s, follow the standard rules except for those listed by OP, which take -sse ending, and 2 others that absous, dissous - which both drop -s and take -te, and tiers which drops -s and takes -ce. There may be a problem in the video description of those that are regular (ambiguous I think) but neither does this lesson note that there are exceptions to the -sse structure.

Why isn't it "qu'on ne s'est pas vus"?  Thanks.

I’m confused as to why I got an example wrong. The example was “un œdipien complexe” which the quiz labelled as an incorrect placement of the adjective. It is my understanding that œdipien is the noun and complexe is the adjective. None of these fall under the common exceptions nor s œdipien is not a proper noun, so I am confused as to why the proper order would be “un complexe œdipien.”

What is more commonly used in French - aimer or plaire?

thank you,

Tu n'as pas habité ici depuis longtemps.  I've studied and understood the rule about using the 'passé composé but I can't see where my mistake is. Help!

You can’t say very fun’ in English as fun is a noun

Hhello what is the difference between eventail and gamme paul 

The “venir” block has the translation “ He came an hour earlier.”. Should this be “He came an hour early”? Or does the meaning really change for the “venir” context?
