This is doing my head in... My grammar exercise book has:
1. Nous devons fermer tous les volets. -> Nous devons tous les fermer.
2. Elle va faire toutes ses courses au supermarché. -> Elle va toutes les faire.
BUT
3. Nous souhaitons recevoir tous nos amis pour notre anniversaire de mariage. -> Nous souhaitons les recevoir tous.
My textbook gives no explanation as to why tous/toutes comes before the object pronoun in 1,2 but after the infinitive in 3.
In the sentence, Moi, je préfère la bière blonde, Julien préfère la bière brune et Max ne boit que de la bière blanche, the speaker and Julien prefer LA bière but Max drinks only DE LA bière. Why the use of the partitf for Max ?

Hello, for this question:
Marie nous rejoindra ________ le restaurant. Marie will meet up with us when we've left the restaurant.
The correct answer is: quand nous aurons quitté
I answered: quand nous serons quitté, as I would say nous sommes quitté le restaurant.
So why is this aurons and not serons?Many thanks!
