How could we find a focused practice where we would select the correct form between these two?

Shouldn't appeller be in the future tense?Surely "I'll call you before leaving." requires appeller to be in the future tense as the sentence means, "I will call you before leaving". I hope you can help, thanks.

nous nous sommes brosséI'm confused this is a reflexive verb, so uses etre, and with a plural subject. So why is it not "nous nous sommes brosséS"?

Does the form 'penser + noun' exist?

Or there must be a preposition in between noun and 'penser', which means only either 'penser à + noun' or 'penser de + noun' ?

If 'penser+noun' exist, how to differentiate 'penser+noun' and 'penser à + noun'?

Let's say I have a Mathematic problem and I am thinking/reflecting on it, hoping to come out with a solution. It should be 'penser' the mathematic problem or 'penser à' the mathematic problem?

If I finally think of the solution, is it correct to use 'penser à' the solution?

Thank you

So, if 'Tu aimes ma soeur?' is 'Do you love my sister?' how do you say 'Do you like my sister?' Is it 'Tu aimes bien ma soeur?'

A Comment re: the Dictée"The format is great – I really like this new feature. One comment about the Level A1 exercise – in the 2nd last sentence, I believe it should read “elle invite des amis pour la goûter” - la referring to la tarte. A nice new feature. Thanks!"

can you omit 'pour' ?

Just to be clear, in expressions like : 'Je vais au cinéma pour voir un film' ... presumably this implies that it is wrong to just say 'Je vais au cinéma voir un film'

Can you use, "Ça me n'est pas égal", to mean it does indeed bother you?
