Hi

I have a question I'm learning about the inversion in the conditional present and I was wondering about these two sentences?

Why do you not conjugate passer? 

(Could we) passer Chez vous après le spectacle? Pourrions- nous is the answer

But with this sentence

(Would he) signer cette pétition? Signerait- il would be the answer 

I'm very confused and help would be greatly appreciated

Thanks

Can "en hiver" also be translated as "during the winter"/"in wintertime" or would I have to say "pendant l'hiver" or something else?  The translation "in winter" doesn't seem like common phrasing it seems almost like the beginning of a scientific statement and I'm bound to over-translate it. 

Hi,

In the sentence, "au point de faire systématiquement passer nos besoins avant les siens," please explain the usage of "passer" in this case. It doesn't follow the other examples used in the lesson.

Thanks

Hi,

"Je ne saurais expliquer ce qui m'arrive aujourd'hui"

2 questions:

Why is there no "pas" - is this a negative sentence?

Why is "arrive" in present tense and not passe compose?

- ce qui me suis arrivé -

Oh la la! In the last phrase of this dictée, "Ils ont eu le droit de manger," it's hard to understand "ont eu." 

Was the speaker's mouth full of chocolate eggs? ;) 

But seriously, a liaison between "ont_eu" would've made it clearer. Nonetheless, it does seem rather "frenchy" that liaison's aren't necessarily obligatory, but rather subjective, yeah???
