Finding the correct vocabulary

Suggestions please, for the best way to find the vocabulary given at the start of each writing exercise and dictée. I use the WordReference app and the unabridged Collins Robert dictionary, but frequently find that phrases in particular are difficult or impossible to find, which makes the vocab list unhelpful. Thanks.

Not relevant to this lesson but I listened to the audio and the final s on “le plus” was pronounced. Is there a rule or lesson on this?

I'm so confused...

Okay, so I've just climbed up from A2 but this:

Je suis jalouse des nouvelles bottes que tu as achetées.

looks wrong to me. Why do I have achetées with bottes with avoir?
