Would or would not?

In the short quiz, the sentence was 'Nous craignons qu'il ne change d'avis". The correct answer given was : 'We fear that he would change his mind'. Because of the 'ne', should the answer be " We fear that he would NOT change his mind? I also want to know whether 'change d'avis' is an expression? Thanks.

Just when I thought I had it!

I’ve been looking for the main difference with avoir besoin de and avoir envie de and thought I got it when you say that avoir envie de is to feel/need to DO SOMETHING!

But then the first question to answer is J’ai envie d’une nouvelle voiture and that blew it out the water.

I am confused again! Why use one over the other in this simple context?

Thank you

Agreement of past particple with avoir auxillary

There might be an error on a test I just took. The question as written is "Ma mère nous a récompensés pour nous être comportés... The sentence as given shows an agreement between the past participle of récompenser, and the auxilliary, avoir. Is this correct? My instincts say "Non", but perhaps I'm missing something.

The duplicates

Isn't there a commonly used or a popular option from the 2 duplicates? Maybe a little asterisk could go a long way for newbies like me :)

Pronunciation of “on ressent”

In the lesson above the audio for “On veut qu'il sache ce qu'on ressent.”. Sounds out the “ent” part of “ressent”. I was expecting to hear just “resse”. Could you comment?

Does reposer mean to set?

Why is reposer used in the final sentence as a translation of leaving the tart to set? Doesn't reposer just imply leave it to rest (in the fridge) with no mention of setting?,

Time is different!

Just spotted something.. the usual way by getting it wrong but looks the required format is

IJe suis resté là de huit heures à onze heures. I stayed there from eight to eleven.. I put "de huit à onze heures", missing the "heures".. as you would do for months etc.. this seems unique to time and might be worth pointing out in the leçon.. if it isn't already!
