The text says "Note that in each case where être is the auxilliary, the verb passer is followed by a preposition (en, sur, dans, à etc.). "
But then we have the example "Elle est passée chez Laurent hier"
Surely "chez laurent" is a noun?
Can one use 'une pénalité' for 'penalty' or is that just used in rugby as opposed to soccer?
In the sentence, ”Tandis que je regarde autour de moi, je me sens émue de voir autant de personnes présentes aujourd'hui”, why is ’pendant que’ not an acceptable alternative ?
HI,
I am confused with how this is laid out.
Are all ER verbs have a silent e in them/? due to the non pronounced e shcwa?
What makes jouer and crier different from your other examples like manger and parler?

The lesson didn't mention much about "par".
Is it really used just for those few mentioned in the note?
Pourquoi pas : commencé à bavader ou causer?
If you use the inverted form, the answer key asks for the extra -t- after s'adapte, so s'adapte-t-il. That looks redundant, since adapte already ends in a t sound. (Inverted questions in the present tense (Le Présent) in French - il/elle/on forms)
Is there perhaps a different rule for silent 'e' endings?
In answer to this question...

Does not the 2024 Tour de France end in Nice (because of the Olympics in Paris)?
Je veux etudier des sujets autres que le passe simple, mais le programme me donne 9 questions du passe simple sur 10 dans chaque test, meme si j'active le test a partir des lecons sur d'autres sujets. Comment sortir de cet engrenage?
