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.

When combining conjugations like ne jamais and ne nulle part, do we keep the nulle part rule of going at the end of the clause?

Example:
Je n'ai jamais nulle part allé
Ou

Je n'ai jamais allé nulle part

I never went anywhere

I thought it was interesting that it can apparently be correct to blend passé composé and passé simple in the same sentence, according to this supposedly correct Kwiz answer: "Après s'être levé, William alla prendre son douche." Perhaps that is something that should be mentioned/clarified in the pertinent lesson?

I don't think the problem is my computer but many of the sections here would not play sound

So, is there a nuance between 'buisson' and 'arbuste' ?  I believe that both translate to bush or shrub.  Shouldn't both be accepted since there is no other description? 

Another who has fallen foul of the "Nous nous sommes brossé les cheveux" question. Please add the exception to the lesson.

Je veux etudier des sujets autres que le passe simple, mais le programme me donne 9 questions du passe simple sur 10 dans chaque test, meme si j'active le test a partir des lecons sur d'autres sujets. Comment sortir de cet engrenage? 

Why is pas not used in this example? "...je ne le pensais pas"? What is the concept/rule that I'm missing here? 

Tu parles moins que je ne le pensais.
