Would it be an alternative to say: Ils ont du [accent] leur devoirs avant le diner [accent]" (which I believe translates to "They must have finished their homework before dinner.")

Can you please explain how these are different?

Que tu y ailles ou pas, ça ne change rien.

The title holds the right answer. If I was speaking to a native French speaker and spoke this wrong answer - Si tu vas ou pas, ça ne change rien - would the French speaker understand but think to him/herself “tsk tsk such poor grammar”, or would my selection be incomprehensible? Actually, I have a similar question - two birds, one stone - regarding the use of ‘passé simple’ as opposed to ‘passé composé’: is there a simple rule which tells one which is the appropriate choice when?

I wrote « ...une bière qu’on a brassée soi-même. » with the extra ‘e’ in brassée. I was thinking « la bière que j’ai brassée »?

Je n'avais jamais vu ça, on aurait dit un film d'horreur !

Hello.
The English sentence is: I'd never seen that, it was like in a horror movie!

I must have missed the rule that explains the use of conditional past in French. Can you enlighten me please.

Thanks.
