Mon rêve pour cette année (Le Conditionnel)

- the sentence to be translated is "the first flight that appeals to us!" 

- I put in "le premier vol qui nous plairions!", but the answer is marked incorrect, and the one given is "le premier vol qui nous plairait!" 

- The linked lesson is "Lesson: Conjugate regular verbs in Le Conditionnel Présent (conditional mood)" 

So I'm not sure what I've done wrong here? Thanks!

Nothing in the lesson suggests "faire" is reflexive. 

Ergo: Why is "je me fais faire de nouvelles sandales" correct, in lieu of "je fais faire de nouvelles sandales." ???

This is a bit of an indirect question related to this lesson about "aprés avoir fait".

The sentence used in the quiz is: "Lucette changea les draps aprés avoir fait le lit." This got me wondering about "changea" and what verb form it is, why we wouldn't say "Lucette a changé les draps aprés avoir fait le lit." But on further reading I see that this is just the difference between a form used in conversation French (passé composé - which perhaps most learners come across first) vs written French (passé simple - which learners come across later..?)

My other question is whether the sentence should actually read: "Aprés avoir changé les draps, Lucette fis / a fait le let." You change the sheets before making the bed, right?

 Is it like the movie Back to the Future?  or would that be posterior?   When is it used?

Bonjour,

Recently, I saw a video by a French prof saying that we use l'indicatif after the pronom relatif "que" in "comment ça se fait que" for an informal conversation.

Is it correct?

Thank you very much for your response!!!

why do we not say:- 

L'année prochaine, il commencera à l'université
