Could anyone explain the use of 'nous' in the second example but not in the first. I would see the constructions as similar.

Is the use of 'nous' in these cases optional?

Thanks guys

Since girls are hugging each other… why are we not using s’enlacées  ? 

Unless I'm mistaken (which is very possible), "Cette écharpe lui va" would be a correct way to say "This scarf suits them" because it's not clear from the English sentence if "them" is plural (group of people) or singular (someone whose gender isn't known/specified), right? Or is that too much of Anglo interpretation? 

The correct answer was listed as "Cette écharpe leur va". 

1.       Ses déclarations étranges auront déconcerté le public.

how to write this in passive form?

Whew! I listened to this section a dozen times and was not anywhere close to that answer! 

Maybe consider adding ¨hollywoodien¨ or something similar to the pre-lesson hints...?

According to the above rule, each/every month should only be chaque mois, since "chaque" goes with a singular noun, and "tous les" goes with a plural noun.  How is "mois" plural?  Just because it has an "s" at the end?  Very confusing.  Please help!

"Wait, I'm passing Paul onto you."

What does this sentence mean? I'm not a native english speaker but this sentence makes no sense. 

Based on the french sentence, I deduce it has something to do with a phone conversation.

I was marked wrong for typing the latter response. Is this because the subject (nous) does not change? Therefore the second part of the sentence must remain in the infinitive?

I believe "avant que" takes the subjunctive.  Since this is a memory from the past, shouldn't we use the past subjunctive?
