In the lesson on the above topic, it states that if "passer" is followed by a direct object, it uses "avoir" in the passé composé.

Elle est passée chez Laurent hier.She passed by Laurent's place yesterday.
Here, passer is followed by a direct object, yet uses "être".Should the translation be:  Elle est passée par chez Laurent hier?This example seems to contradict the rule, even though it is a verb of motion in this sentence. Should have a preposition.

Is there a way to add accents on the letters? I don't have them on my keyboard...I still enjoyed this practice though!

Just wanted to check if this is a mistake. I found this on Duolingo.

Nous ne nous sommes plus jamais parlé.

Why is the verb parlé not agreed with the reflexive pronoun?

Merci très beaucoup.

Bonjour, J'ai a entendu "cinquantaine", pas "cinquante". Ai-je raison ? - Allison

In spoken French, do Conditionnel Passé and Le Futur Antérieur sound noticeable different? It seems like it would be confusing.

'I share my apartment with five people, including one girl.'

I realise the lesson is about 'dont', but could one use 'compris' or 'y compris' instead of dont? If so, which, and would compris need an e because the girl is feminine?

When would you use ressentir instead of se sentir? 

I’ve seen this example a that doesn’t t follow the rule:. Elle pense à sa famille … Elle y pense 

I’m interested to know how you’d say "this time last year" in French? In English, it emphasises that it’s an exact period ago, so more precise than "il y a un an".

In the context of this lesson is rien the negative version of quelque chose and personne the negative version of quelqu’un (ie nothing and no one) ?
