When/why do we use article définis before the Auxiliary? 

I'm confused because on many other sites I see both these used as conditionnel. E.g., J'avais pu = I had been able to/could have

Si tu avais pu, tu aurais fait = If you could have, you would have.

Please explain.

The question was: "Les parents sont ____________ la Poste."  The hint sais that the parents were at the post office.  My response was "Les parents sont dans la Poste."  QUIZBOT said that the correct response is "Leas parenat sont a (with accent) la Poste.  Why is "dans" not correct?    

What does this mean, kindly illustrate it with an example.

When the subject of your interrogative sentence is a noun, this one comes first and it's then repeated by the matching pronoun

Why is there so much emphasis on this when it’s only used in serious written French.

Hi I am a bit confused. I was reading about adverbs and I saw this sentence

Je t'aimerai pour toujours --> I will love you forever

I though the infinitive Te/t' would only follow sentences with Tu at the start. Is there a rule around since it's about someone else the 'Je' bit at the start isn't the subject?

Is there a topic on this specifically for me to understand?

Thanks,

L’expression ci-dessus aurait dû été - en ce qui concerne?  

Pourriez-vous clarifier, svp? 

Moi aussi, je n'ai pas vu les liens. Où les sont ? 

Why is the answer to this:  Sarah ________ la salade à Michel.

se passe as opposed to passe?  

Isn't this a simple act of passing something, as in the first example, "passer quelque chose"?  I understood that it only needed the reflexive pronoun for something happening or someone doing without something.   Can you enlighten me?

Thanks.
