Further to my last question about this, I clearly don't understand the rule, as these are wrong, can you explain please? :
Ils ________ pendant les vacances.They will have lost weight during the holidays.(HINT: Conjugate "mincir" in Le Futur Antérieur)auront minciauront mincisLearn and Discuss »Report issue
7Cette sculpture est la plus belle ________ !This sculpture is the most beautiful you have ever seen!que tu aies jamais vueque tu aie jamais vu
In the sentence "Apres, j'ai invite mes voisins a un aperitif pour faire leur connaissance", I would have thought "leur connaissance" should be plural (leurs connaissances) because she invited "mes voisins".
I chose “voir” and came up with an error. I’m also doing Duolingo and that says voir is the correct word when visiting someone, hasn’t even mentioned the word “rendre”. Confused here….
I am never 100% certain in the use of the conditional tense. In the sentence « What would you like today » your hint was to use ‘vouloir’ in the present. Ok, although when I see « would » my brain automatically thinks ‘the conditional’. I stuck with the present for Mme M’s reply, but I see that you’ve said « je voudrais quatre croissants svp ». I’m surmising that this is Mme M being polite and that for the person behind the counter to say « Qu’est-ce que vous voudriez aujourd’hui » is OTT as Mme M is known to them ?
in the other avoir+verb lessons, it says that the verb does not need to agree with the subject's gender and number. Is that the case here too?
In "le causatif", consider the sentences :
Eva s'est fait laver les cheveux par sa soeur ;
Ils se sont fait piquer par des guêpes.
I know fait is invariable here, but I don't understand why it is, and not faite or faits (or faites)
Thanks

There is really no explanation of how to distinguish when to use these properly.
Hello! Does anyone know a way to restart the brainmap? I had Kwiziq premium in 2020 and was able to nearly complete the brainmap for French but then I stopped. Now it's been five years. I repurchased premium but would prefer a blank slate since I have forgotten a lot. Does anyone know the answer?
Hello,
The sentences:-
Mes amis et moi, ON VA au cinema/ Mes amis et moi, NOUS ALLONS au cinema.
Is it wrong to use 'nous allons' in the second sentence?
Why wouldn’t you use “ ils balaieront/balayeront le sol avant nous venions “ in lieu of “avant nous ne venions “ ? I’m confused about the “ne” negation. What’s its purpose?
