Would the meaning change if it began with "Je rêvais toujours..." to indicate a continuing/ongoing state of mind in the past?

Hello, today while watching the news I picked up the sentence:

on a isolé les murs au cas où nous devions rester longtemps.

I wonder why "devrait" is not used in this case.

And can we use e.g. /dans le cas où + sentence/ instead of /au cas où + sentence/ ?

Merci.

Why maison in plural is not maisones since it's female it needs to end with

 '' es ''. But instead ends with just '' s '', maisons ? 

Help :'(

Hi, 

I was wrong when choosing “ tombée” in  “ Marie- France est ( tomber) de son vélo”. I agreeed the gender of subject( in this case, I think it ‘s feminin) as “learn and discuss says. Why? Is it that the subject here falls sthg ,not the subject falls. And past participle has to follow the gender and number of object in this case? Thanks.

The order of verbs in the headline, participles in the first line of text, and the subsequent examples are in different orders.  It would be helpful to order each list the same.

et quand  elle souffle....could the future tense me used future-present tense. When suggests it sometime in the futur

Good day! My question is for this example: "On ne doit pas parler la bouche pleine." (People mustn't speak with their mouths full.). 

Why is there no "avec"? Is this because it isn't meant to be transliteral?

Use of prepositions with passer and repasser: (sorry can't get accents to work in this box!) I looked back at the B1 level avoir and etre with passer..... I'm not very sure about the use of a par devant etc. Which ones mean 'go past (again)' and which mean 'go in (again)'? I'm assuming the same prepositions can be used with both verbs. 

Could someone please direct me to the correction board as per Céline's suggestion below?

I've looked everywhere but can't seem to find it.

Bonjour,

In this example: Je n'ai pas compris ce qui a suivi.

What part of speech is ce qui?

Merci :)
