The excercise translation was poires rose, while the complete tesxt at the end was pois roses. This sort of thing and punctuation at the end of phrases indicated as errors makes me doubt the utility of these exercises.

Can anyone explain why "rapidement" goes to the end of the sentence here. I placed it between "peux" and "regarder" as I thought adverbs went between an auxilliary/modal verb and the participle/infinitive. According to the solutions given this was the correct placing for "vite" but "rapidement" was placed at the end of the sentence.
I've read all the comments here and in the related links, several times.
It seems the rule be stated as, there's NO gender/number agreement of the participle when there is a direct object following the verb.
Ça vous dit ?
'qu'il m'a donnée pour mon treizième anniversaire.' - the link you provide with this question, 'special cases of past participle agreement with avoir' describes that, in passé composé with avoir, the past participle must agree with the object when the verb is preceded by a direct object, but also explicitly states that the rule does not apply to indirect objects. Is not 'me' in this case an indirect object (he gave it to me)?
Why "aux côteś de mon époux" instead of "à côté de mon époux" ?
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.
2 questions about this sentence:
1. Is "yeux étincelants" not acceptable here?
2. Why is the passé composé used instead of the imparfait "les yeux...auxquels je ne pouvais jamais résister"?
When do we use ‘eux’ for them, instead of ‘leur?’
