Why is “nous nous sommes brossés les cheveux” wrong, your answer says it should be “nous nous sommes brossé les cheveux.? Please would you explain why nous takes a singular ending, as in your examples, you use “nous sommes allés”.

Thank you

'je ne pense que ce soit possible...'

Is this transcript of the audio correct? It sounds like he says 'je ne pense pas que ce soit possible' - and surely that is what is called for?

Why is this answer marked as incorrect

The question was : Vous ________ arriver d'ici là.

You will have been able to get there by then.Why was my answer which was, "auriez pu y", marked as wrong?

Qui at the end...For answer to "She sees Paul. -Whom does she see? : Elle voit Paul. -___?", I wrote "Elle voit qui?" as it was marked as "nearly correct." According to the lesson, it indicates that both "Qui est-ce qu'elle voit?" and "Elle voit qui?" are equivalent. So why was "Elle voit qui?" marked as only partially correct? Thanks!

Using être for l'autre

Is it not necessary to have a verb to accompany the adjective for l'autre ?

In a question it was used : "Ils sont différents: l'un est petit et l'autre est grand."

In the example it wasn't :Tom et Maxime sont très différents: l'un est calme et l'autre ( ) hyperactif.

Is there a distinction?

A few things I dont understand

In the sentence "qui vient d'accueillir son premier animal familier" - Why are we using "son"? I've read the lesson still don't understand. Is it because of it being used generally?

In the sentence - "Je dirais que le plus important est d'apprendre à vivre ensemble" why is there no "chose" involved to mean "the most important thing"?

And in that same sentence, why is it that "De" is used to express "TO learn"? why not "à"?

Also in the sentence "ce soit bon pour un animal de rester enfermé" is the "De" required because of "être"?

And lastly - "la plus grande preuve d'amour que vous puissiez lui donner" why did this sentence get knocked into the subjunctive?

Apologies for all these questions but this exercise really got me confused!
