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 

What would be the difference between “I smell nothing” and I feel nothing”. I thought to feel in this case might require a reflexive construction?

II noticed that she pronounces the s at the end of "plus". I have never understood when to pronounce this and when not. Could someone explain please? 

Mes parents ont toujours été là pour moi.  Can you help me understand why PC was used and not Imparfait?  To me,  it seems like a statement of actions that were ongoing or repeated in the past over an undefined period.  Merci pour vos conseils !

Why is the past subjunctive called for here?:

Je me souviens de cet hiver-là comme l'un des plus rudes que j'aie vécus

Could you please explain what 'bien' means in this alternative answer given in the quiz: 

ou pour les ordonnances à la pharmacie,

ou bien pour les ordonnances à la pharmacie, 

Thank you

Are there times when you say "de les" instead of des? For example, in this sentence ... Ils essaient de l'atteindre dans l'arbre afin de l'empêcher de les manger versus Ils essaient de l'atteindre dans l'arbre afin de l'empêcher des manger??? Thanks for any feedback.

Confused by the use of "Lui" in "je LUI ai fait faire sa valise" and "je LUI ai même bandé les yeux" as they both don't use "à"? Or am I mistaken?

Why is it "d'une" and "de boire" ?
