In the lesson on the passé composé of vouloir it says:

Does the same apply to the Plus-que-Parfait?

If you use the inverted form, the answer key asks for the extra -t- after s'adapte, so s'adapte-t-il. That looks redundant, since adapte already ends in a t sound. (Inverted questions in the present tense (Le Présent) in French - il/elle/on forms)

Is there perhaps a different rule for silent 'e' endings?

In the exercise about the new green car with the brown leather seats, one alternate answer was ‘Ils sont fait en cuir.’ The best answer was ‘Il sont en cuir’. Present tense.   Was the alternate answer in passe compose? If so, wouldn’t that be ‘ils ont fait en cuir?’  

ceci ou cela    Doesn't celui-ci ou celui-la  mean the same thing, this or that ?

J'aime beaucoup cette video. Merci beaucoup

I’ve been studying French church architecture this week and had thought I understood that the saint themself is written with no hyphen, but if their name is used for a road, church, town etc, it becomes hyphenated. For example, Saint Denis for the person and  Saint-Denis for the basilica or commune. So I was surprised in this exercise to see the archangel spelt Saint-Michel.

I also noticed that sauvé and sauvée are both accepted for Orléans - presume either is ok here?

Wrong: Personne n'

Correct: Aucune n'

Any Reason why?

Thank you for your help

For the question ""Je suis très vieux." The speaker is:" I have answered this as "male" but the bot is grading my answer as BOTH incorrect and unanswered.  Could you advise which it is?

I wouldn't think that this is necessarily reflexive, not without context.

If we are talking about her teeth, for example, then yes it is reflexive; but what if she were brushing horses, for example, or perhaps her children's teeth? Would not "Elles les brosse." then be correct?

Can you say 'd'après la célèbre comptine'?
