In this lesson there is an example of passer in passé compose using être:
Ma tante est passée par la boulangerie...
and using avoir:
Nous avons passé une bonne semaine...
I can't see an explanation for this and I'm confused
John
I used "il a goûté des escargots," but the correct answer was listed as " il a goûté les escargots." Is that correct, and if yes, why?
One of the quiz questions: Nous ________ une fois par mois. We have money wired once a month. HINT: virer de l'argent = to wire money
The answer is listed as "Nous faisons virer de l'argent une fois par mois." Could it also be "Nous faisions virer de l'argent une fois par mois," since it's a repetitive action?
Please explain the use of hors-d'ouvres vs amuse-gules or entrée
Remember Head Shoulders Knees and Toes?

You’ll never be able to unhear this! (You’re welcome.)
Anyone else practicing by singing Charlie Boisseau’s »Pourquoi Tu T’en Vas »?
Could someone tell me please why/when to use que rather than qui (and vice versa)
Thanks in advance
Can I use l'imparfait instead? : "Je n'aimais pas le goût de la viande"
'ne pas aimer le goût' is a past habit, has no clear begining and end, as well as expressing an opinion. Why can't we use l'imparfait?
pourquoi quand vous dîtes “ J’arrive au “travail” vers neuf heures etc’ travail est masculin quand même nous connaissons la personne est feminine.... Et son amie Annie “travaille” à coté de son bureau ??
Please help me understand when to use just soi vs soi-même.
