Past perfect: sequential eventsHi, I have a question about he following sentence in the lesson: "Après qu'elle lui avait avoué ce qu'elle ressentait, elle avait rougi." Seems logical to me that she would have blushed AFTER she confessed her feelings, hence "elle a rougi" makes more sense, no? Would appreciate your thoughts, thanks in advance!

de/des before adjectiveFrom the week 71 A1 writing challenge: "She likes eating salad and also small tomato pieces" -> "Elle aime bien manger de la salade et aussi DES petits morceaux de tomate". I had expected "..et aussi DE petits morceaux.." Isn't there a rule that 'des' loses its s when there is an adjective before the noun?
