I am being distracted trying to understand the underlining in a number of examples above (and probably shouldn't be, I know). Can't help but feel I am missing the significance - which I am if there is some! The underlining doesn't coincide with le subjonctif passé phrase - the topic of the lesson. Is it just confirming all the examples need the subjunctive?

Auxiliary verb for "coucher"

Ma femme viendra nous rejoindre après avoir couché le bébé.

My wife will come and join us after putting the baby to sleep.

(HINT: Use 'coucher' (to put to bed))

I put:

Ma femme viendra nous rejoindre après être couché le bébé.

I thought coucher takes être as its auxiliary. Does that only apply when its reflexive? Or is there some other problem?

Is there a form or exception where « Pierre et tu… » would be conjugated in the 2nd person singular instead of 2nd person plural?

My daughter had a quiz where she got « Pierre et tu allez au parc » wrong because it should have been Pierre et tu vas au parc. I am struggling to explain this. Is there a rule or an exception?

Pronunciation of 'je suis à'

Is it right that you don't pronounce the 'S' at the end of 'suis' when it's followed by 'à'?

I had thought anytime a vowel sound follows a word ending in 's', you pronounce that s. Like with 'Je dine dans une...'

Translation for "breadcrumbs"?

I used "la chapelure." for breadcrumbs which was marked as incorrect. The exercise wanted "les miettes de pain". According to the dictionary I used, both are correct. Can anyone clarify? Thanks

je te l'avais dit

I don't see why this is plus que parfait. This refers to an action completed in the past. Seems to me "je te l'ai dit" would serve just as well or better.

Answer not quite right due to missing accent marks

I got one question 'almost' correct even though it was spelled correctly. However, the answer had no accent marks because I do not have a French Keyboard. How do I get/use a French Keyboard?
