Hi,
" D'ailleurs, ça me rappelle que Paul m'avait prêté un livre passionnant que j'ai toujours chez moi ! - Tu ne les as pas revus depuis tout ce temps ? - Non, et du coup, je n'ai pas encore pu le lui rendre ! "
In this sentence I put "je ne suis pas encore arrivé à le lui rendre !" which I think works as well?

why is verb avons montrés not avons montré?
One of the questions turns the sentence about dolphins into a question: Saviez-vous que les dauphins sont des mammifères? Could you say why "sont" isn’t concordant with "saviez"? In your article on this subject it says "You can't use the past tense in the main clause with the present tense in the subordinate - the latter must be in the past as well: "Il ne savait pas que j'étais professeur (He did not know that I was a teacher)" Thanks!
"J'ai très faime !" is literally, "I have very hunger" which seems odd. I thought it would be "J'ai beaucoup de faime !" or I have lots of hunger. Why?
I am looking at this sentence - 'Je passerais beaucoup de temps à prendre soin de lui, en lui parlant, le caressant, lui donnant des friandises - après m'être assuré qu'elles sont adaptées à ses besoins bien sûr !' - and thinking that the verb with 'adaptées' would naturally go into the subjunctive ('soient adaptées'), not the indicative, because the whole scenario is speculative rather than real. Or does this kind of hypothetical writing not normally call for the subjunctive?
Line 2:
Oh, mes rhumatismes me dérangent un peu......
Is the 'me' before dérangent missing? I've listened several times but can't hear it.
I am really struggling in Mon,ma,mes and ton ta tes. Could you please help me?
Why "Il a mangé la moitié de son pain" but "Il n'a mangé qu'une moitié du biscuit" ? The grammar note does not explain this.
