Why is this phrase conjugated with être instead of avoir? "Jusqu'à ce que nous soyons réouvert l'appétit" en place de "jusqu'à ce que nous ayons réouvert l'appétit."

Hello,

I was doing some French exercises and I encountered this sentence: c'est le livre dont la lecture je te conseille" (my job was just to select a pronoun here). Anyway I thought it should be: c'est le livre dont je te conseille la lecture. It confused me, which one is correct ?

No two ways about it, listening practice is everything. Took me a while to get my lug (ear to an English person) around this dictation but pleased with the results.

I wonder, is the object of this sentence ("la" in) "Tu la suis, ou quoi?"  (Are you following her, or what?) part of an expression; a special kind of object pronoun; or just the article for an unspoken feminine object of the sentence (fille/dame)? 

The correct answer was auraient dû partir.  Why not seraient dû partir ?  

Why are the color adjectives for the flowers singular but not for the lilies?

I can't figure out when to use "ou non" or "ou pas"  when using the que....expression.  I'm wrong 50% of the time!

Pouvez-vous me donner les recettes svp?
