How do you decide when to use "du monde entier" vs. "mondiaux" vs. "a travers le monde" ?

Why is the pouvoir necessary in this sentence? I would translate it as : I am going to bring out my spring clothes. What does the "pouvoir" add to the sentence that I am missing? Thank you!

none of the lesson examples gave info about aura (verb). I got the when/after part right which was in the lesson but something else caused me to get these wrong. I feel ripped and wronged. this was an unfair lesson.

Bonjour à tous, je ne comprend pas ce phrase: "Il découvre en Juliette"? Pourquoi il y a "un" après le verbe "découvre"? 

Merci beaucoup à l'avance! 

Hi, why is aucun in Il n'aime aucun programme de télé-réalité masculine? Is there something special with programme?

how can i understand that 'the last letter ' in one word is silence or not?

In Germany "ein Pfund" (a pound) is used for 500 gm (one pound = approx. 454 gm). Do the French use "une livre" this way? If not, what would they sell by the pound instead of by the kilo?

bonjour.

Is it wrong to say 'Elle va gagner la course'?  Why must it be Elle gagnera la course?  

Merci

This lesson has me scratching my head with the simple question - why is it here? One of the very few things I remember from O level french (failed) was that regular past participles form ER>é, IR>i and RE>u so to my way of thinking battre follows the regular rule. Maybe this is because french is taught differently in France than it was in England 40 years ago, I remember reading somewhere that the french don't have the same concept of group 3 (-RE) verbs but have several smaller groups including -DRE.
