Something strange is going on today - it’s not working properly 

I see that some verbs that take de or à and the infinitive drop the preposition when an object follows the verb.  As an example, choisir de drops the preposition when referring to an object as follows:

Je choisis de partir

Je choisis la cérise

As opposed to rêver that keeps its preposition in both cases:

Je rêve de partir

Je rêve du paradis

Is there a rule for this?

Pourquoi est-ce que je ne peux pas dire: "Ce sera un festin extraordinaire !" ?

In the "full text for you to read and listen to" at the end of the exercise, the 5th sentence in the dialog "- Avez-vous besoin de voir le menu ?" is shown in the text but is missing in the audio. The audio is present in the individual section of the exercise.

I see this was addressed in N. Hillary's question/comment from 6 months ago.

Hello,

I learnt in another lesson that after "Quand" usually + Futur simple (Quand/pendant que + future tense (Le Futur Simple) - not the present tense = When/while I do something in the future (Sequence of Tenses in French) ), but in this lesson it is + Futur Antérieur. So how do you know when to + which tense?

Or are there cases where they can be used interchangeably?

Thank you.

Why is indefiinite article omitted from Quelle excellente ideée?

Thank you for doing slower recordings, it helps a great deal 👍🏻

I don’t understand why this translates in the present as well as in the historic past?
