Why is "était fait" used in a compound verb structure when avoir is normally used w/ faire?

I tried using blesser to see if the system would accept this alternative and was marked wrong. Tell me why J’ai blessé Olive (yesterday when I stepped on her foot) is wrong. I like blesser because it’s easier to use, but not if it’s wrong! Thanks so much. 

Bonjour,

I'm a bit confused about how pouvoir in the conditional mood would translate/ be interpreted in English. How will I differentiate pouvoir in these two tenses?

Thank you! :)

Hi, I am confused as to when to pronounce the t in vingt, for example, in vingt-deux, vingt-cinq? In some videos and sites I hear them pronounce it, in some I don't. So when do we exactly? Or are both acceptable?

As per dictionary the word magasin is masculine.. so why are we saying here  retirer en magasin?

Your explanation says that where English points are used the French use commas, yet when I put commas in my last test, it was marked wrong. I give up on numbers and want to move on to something else please.

hi,

I was wondering whats the difference between using the verb Je veux and J'ai besoin de nouvelle voiture? I thought that it can mean the same thing when using Je veux nouvelle voiture.

thanks
