In this lesson about de/d'in front of adjectives preceding nouns, there are examples:

des endroits magnifiques

de magnifiques gâteaux 

I understand the point about using de when the adjective precedes, but why is magnifique used both before and after the nouns in these examples?

When writing the answers to the question I seem to be wrong every time. If I use de peur que the answer shows as de crainte que, if I use de crainte que it shows as de peur que. I’m struggling to tell the difference.

How do I know which to use our of tenir and garder in any particular context, please?

Which of the conjugations of s'asseoir is the most commonly used?

Hello, 

Why do we use etait allée below instead of est allée? 

ex. Il a laissé sa voiture au garage après qu'elle était allée à la banque.

There was a question: 

Je suis retourné me coucher après que tu es parti. (correct answer as per quiz)

Should it be "Je suis retourné me coucher après que tu etais parti? 

Hello,

J'utilise ces tomates. ________ les dernières.
Why is it "ce sont" rather than "elles sont." It sounds like we are speaking about specific tomatoes, hences "elles." I am using these tomatoes. They are the last ones. These specific ones right here that we are both looking at.

Thanks! 

Why does travail need to be feminine in this context pleas

The object will be singular following a negation. In this case the object is the `sa collection. But a collection is inherently plural ins de jardin rather than nain de jardin. but why is the collection de nains and not des nains?
