placement of adverbs

Hi,

I was wondering when you use the adverbs absolument and totalement do they use the rule #5 in the lesson for adjectives with adverbs?

Thanks

Le Champagne Connu Partout

Hello!

I tried a different way of writing the final sentence, and it wasn't accepted by the exercise engine:

"que l'on peut aujourd'hui savourer le champage aux fines bulles qui se connaît dans le monde entier."

I tried this because the English text specified "[that is]" and I thought it was prompting use of "qui" -- is this grammatically in correct?

i don't understand why 'before they left' translates as 'qu'ils ne partent'....I thought 'ne' signifies a negative statement of some sort? negative?

case of subordinate clauses with que

The sentence :

Je suis aussi allé acheter une nouvelle bibliothèque que j’ai passé plus de deux heures à monter.

The hint given was ‘la bibliothèque’.

I took this to mean that passé should agree with bibliothèque and wrote passée.

I was using the rule for the ‘case of subordinate clauses with que’. Why am I wrong here?

La demande ne peut pas être effectué vu que la jour est déjà passé

Why is vu used in this case to mean since in this case? Also is there anything similar to this that we could use the same way? Thank you
