I’m confused by the instruction given for how to use this phrase.  Both present and imparfait are defined as “used to” in the examples.  what am I missing?  Of course for the very first question about this topic I bombed. And I don’t know why. Is there any additional instruction on this topic?

I am having a difficult time deciding when devoir is appropriate and when it is not.  All the other applications, I am ok with.  But if devoir implies "must have" why is a purse a necessity? Why not just Avoir besoin?  And why is sleep NOT a necessity (or I may be getting this confused at this point). This is getting to be more of a guessing/memorization thing than an actual understanding thing.  I see from the previous posts that this has been discussed ad infinitum so it's not just me.  Any easy way to decide when to use devoir and when NOT to use it in this context?

Thanks

 I have no idea what this phrase is supposed to illustrate, let alone identify what part of it is supposed to be the adjective.  Are you trying to say une fille blonde comme le soleil?  If so, I think this particular exercise is not clear.  It seems like a tossed word salad.  

In English, one would generally not say "a blonde as the sun girl" one would say a girl as blonde as the sun.  Though to be frank, I would not say that, either.

Pourriez-vous m'expliquer s'il vous plaît pourquoi on utilise "sa timidité extrême" mais "son extrême timidité".... pourquoi le genre de timidité change avec le lieu de "extrême"? merci

Ils vont visiter 'la tour Eiffel' ce matin.

Would it be replaced by a direct object or y

They will visit it = la or they will visit there = y

Ils vont la visiter or ils vont y visiter.

Why doesn’t the past participle take an extra ‘s’ with ‘nous’. Isn’t there more than one person, like ‘ils’? 

Is the phrase 'Qui que ce soit' followed by the subjunctive?

Il a vu ________ de ses amis, mais pas l'autre.He saw one of his friends, but not the other.
