As I understand it, both these sentences would be translated as "Paul aurait dû partir plus tôt", even though, in English, there is a difference in meaning. Is there a better way to translate #2 to convey the meaning that Paul was compelled to leave?

When describing a nation in general, we should use "ce sont" or "ils sont"?

Let's say I am discussing the Japanese in general (not some specific Japanese people) with my friend, and I think they are creative, should I say : Ce sont créatifs or Ils sont créatifs?

Verb agreement with a direct object

Elle les (découper) - I think should be ‘Elles les découpes’ with a direct plural object, n’est-ce pas?

object pronouns

Please help! Text: "Le matin on fait le lit. On le couvre pour faire joli et bien rangé." I translated it loosely as "we cover it(the bed) for 'it' to be pretty and tidy" But why is it not '.. pour le faire joli et bien rangé ' (why is the object pronoun not repeated??) Without the object pronoun (pour le faire) couldnt it also mean "we cover it (the bed) to be 'pretty and tidy'...(we do it so we appear to be nice and organized). Bottom line... what is the grammar explanation, if any, for no 'le/la' between pour and faire in the text.
