Sentir, Se Sentir, RessentirHello.
First question: in the lesson 'Describing senses with 'sentir' -- the different meanings of sentir in French', these examples are provided to illustrate that sentir can refer to an overall feeling: je ne sens rien; est-ce qu'elle sent ça?
Why are these not je ne me sens rien; and est-ce qu'elle se sent ça?
Do we use the reflexive form only if there is a specific adjective or adverb being used to identify the kind of feeling, as opposed to the more general rien or ça? So, whilst you would say je ne sens rien if you felt nothing, you would use se sentir if sensation came back to your toes: oui, je me sens les orteils! ? Is that correct?
Second, can ressentir ever be reflexive?

How would you say "I am ten minutes late." ?
J'ai dix minutes de retard.

Oddly WRF and Larousse don't offer an opinion, but if you ask the internet it is clear that de is correct.
For “That's why it is really crucial for the board to approve the new budget plan before the end of the next quarter” which is listed as translating to “C'est la raison pour laquelle il est crucial que la direction valide le nouveau programme budgétaire avant la fin du prochain trimestre”, should we have a “vraiment” in there too? Something like “il est vraiment crucial”?
Tous les lundis, c'est la même chose. ma réveil sonne à six heure et demie , je me rendors pendant quart d'heure ,et je me lève à sept hour moins le quart.

I'm a bit unclear about the use of plural pommes vs. singular pomme in the above examples. Could someone please clarify when to use plural vs. singular? Thank you!
The English given or this is 'we have milled ' but the answer is in the present?
In the C1 writing exercise, "A New Career," the second phrase is noted in the summary as follows: - Honnêtement Antoine, si je n'avais pas poursuivi ce changement de carrière, je serais encore en train de gérer des procès extrêmement compliqués.
However, I responded with des procès during the exercise but was told after responding that the proper response was de procès.
Which is correct and why? (And it would be great if you could update this exercise to be consistent with either de or des in both places.
Merci d'avance de votre réponse.
