It strikes me that the follow through implied in passé composé for devoir (had to, and did it) is similar to vouloir (wanted to, and did or tried to do it).   Does that sound right?

There are two phrases - 'les chiens qui se sont frottés contre' and 'dont le style ne va plus du tout avec' where the final pronoun (for 'it') seem to have been dropped. Is there any general guidance about when and why this happens ? If you could include the pronouns in these clauses, what would they be ?

I am guessing that the verb "mettre" was chosen over "porter" because the latter had already been used twice; otherwise "porter" would have been an acceptable choice in "...toutes mes tenues de soirée en même temps. "  Am I right?

I know that I can use the passe compose when expresing the habits with" apres que"
is it valid for "quand,aussitôt que,dès que,lorsque,une fois que,
for example
Je me brosse les dents quand je me suis lèvé (first ı get up then I brush my teeths)
aussitôt je me suis levé, Je me brosse les dents
dès que  je me suis levé, Je me brosse les dents
lorsque je me suis levé, Je me brosse les dents
une fois que, je me suis levé, Je me brosse les dents

I wish your helps... Merci beaucoup.

L'homme s'est pu échapper, selon le dictée. Les évenements se sont passé, en fait.

Ce que je ne comprends pas, c'est que c'est écrit au conditionnel passé. Il serait montré = he would have boarded. Il est montré = he boarded.  un hélicoptère se serait posé = ...would have landed.   ..s'est posé = landed, ...s'était posé = had landed. Am I correct about these tenses and translations? (I don't doubt that the dictée is correct but don't understand the tenses.)

(I don't think this is the plus-que-parfait.)

Merci pour votre comprehension.

Hi!

I took a C1 quiz out of curiousity just to see what kind of questions it was. Now my quizbot has started recommending C1 lessons for me. Is there any way in which I can make it start recommending things on my level again? C1 is way too hard for me. I used to know french on a B1 level, but my current level is A1 (though I'll probably reach A2 within a week or two when I've refreshed my old knowledge).

I understand that in the expression "brand new" you use neuf rather than nouveau, but otherwise when would you use neuf rather than nouveau - or are they equivalent?

Maybe it's just on my end but the "avoir" example has "eu" and "pris" examples under it. 

I know que and a vowel is qu' but does the same rule apply to qui?
