Are there any other times apart from the negative (saying you don’t have any), when de is used eg d’huile, de pan. I know we say de also before plural nouns with an adjectives preceding the noun 

In the sentence '80.000 tonnes de cassoulet en conserve sont consommés chaque année' shouldn't 'tonnes' agree with 'consommés' ?

Hi, in the mini-quiz, it gives une histoire très interessante as correct. However, I understood that if the adjective is modified by an adverb of only one syllable, it comes before the verb. As in the given example un très joli manteau. So by that logic, it should be une très interessante histoire? 

In the "full text for you to read and listen to" at the end of the exercise, the 5th sentence in the dialog "- Avez-vous besoin de voir le menu ?" is shown in the text but is missing in the audio. The audio is present in the individual section of the exercise.

I see this was addressed in N. Hillary's question/comment from 6 months ago.

The test I have just completed had 'on est passés' - but why the 's'? Surely 'on' is masculine and so there would is no need?

"on aurait dit un savage" translates to it looked like a savage, but I'm unsure of the rule for that. Is there a lesson on this? 

I presume it’s the speaker, but the speaker sounds female. 

Am struggling to understand why the answer uses the present subjunctive of etre.

Thanks for any help!

In "et lui avait demandé où", isn't the subject still the author, so that it should be "avais"?

Pourquoi "Ayons de la foi" n'est pas correct, et on dois dire "Ayons la foi"?
