The lesson states that  "if [action of the sans que clause] is over before the action of the main clause, you'll use Le Subjonctif Passé."  So why does Tu as fait tout ça sans ________ au courant. need que Neve soit, which is in the Subjonctif Present, rather than que Neve l'ait été, which is in Subjonctif Passé? 

I've never understood this.  Thanks,

Does skipping a question hurt my score?

 Also, I've tried hitting the testing button within a notebook and within the brain map, but that grammer point is usually not covered in that quiz. How do I focus a quiz for improving a score in a specific area.

Do you lose 2 marks for each error you make in the translations?

Again the answers alternate--a few in French, but most in English, making it impossible to know how to correct my mustakes.

The video that you posted is not available. not really a problem, i juat wanted to notify

The corrections switch from French to English. Why? Is there a way to stop this?

Why am I getting 0 score for writing in French?????

this is an incredibly fascinating look at this man's life.

Bonjour and merci for Lawless French and all its helpful tools. J'adore ça !

Any chance this lesson could be re-written or divided into shorter lessons as suggested below?  It is still very confusing.  I find Chris' response below very helpful:   

I feel part of the problem with this lesson is that it is rooted on feelings surrounding the use. The confusion reflected in some of the responses below (and in my own experience) is that feelings are subjective and one cannot know what feelings surround the situation. For example, waiting for one's family to arrive for a holiday visit could be infused with pleasant anticipation or dread. 

I'm still quite lost on how to use the reflexive form vs. the infinitive. At least I have a good reference point for when to use à ce que.
