I was taught that adjectives that precede the noun are used with a 'de' and not 'des'. Why is there a difference in the usage of 'des bons moments' and 'de bons souvenirs'?

Thanks

Possible mistake

Before anyone answers I think I can see it now. Is it the use of 'pouvoir' that makes the translation 'could' while 'avoir' gives more the sense of 'should'?

mettrais or se mettraisI just did an exercise "my ideal day." I was asked to put into French "I would put on my favorite dress." I wrote "Je me mettrais ma robe preferee." (missing accents) The correction was "Je mettrais ma robe preferee." Shouldn't "put on" be a reflexive verb? I put it on myself.

Does -battu really have an irregular past participle

This lesson has me scratching my head with the simple question - why is it here? One of the very few things I remember from O level french (failed) was that regular past participles form ER>é, IR>i and RE>u so to my way of thinking battre follows the regular rule. Maybe this is because french is taught differently in France than it was in England 40 years ago, I remember reading somewhere that the french don't have the same concept of group 3 (-RE) verbs but have several smaller groups including -DRE.
