Thanks for the encouragement on the world environmental outlook as well as your encouragement of our sometimes snail like progress.  I did this exercise 3 years ago and improved from 49 to 53.  While I have made some meager progress, I feel the world, particularly with what just happened in the USA, is moving in the other direction.  Nevertheless, I will continue the march toward toward fluency.  What would help would be the ability to review your mistakes from past exercises.  If there is a way to do this, I don't know how.  In any case, thanks for your support and keep the challenges coming !

1. Nous devons fermer tous les volets. -> Nous devons tous les fermer.

2. Elle va faire toutes ses courses au supermarché. -> Elle va toutes les faire.

BUT

3. Nous souhaitons recevoir tous nos amis pour notre anniversaire de mariage. -> Nous souhaitons les recevoir tous.

My textbook gives no explanation as to why tous/toutes comes before the object pronoun in 1,2 but after the infinitive in 3.

I thought that se rappeler does not require a de preposition unless it comes before a verb.  Why does she say "Je m'en rappelle ..." in the last sentence and not "je me le rappelle ....?"  Merci !
