 Not sure about this.. I have it wrong but, I suspect for the wrong reason

If you are asking YOU must, surely that demands Tu or vous.. il faut, ok, but surely this must then be il faut que tu ailles à l'école?

What about Guadeloupe?

I do not understand how the following sentence requires 'avoir'.  Et alors, tu ________ retourné lentement tes cartes...

I would have thought that 'tes cartes' is an indirect object because the word 'lentement' sits between the verb and the object.  Or is it that 'lentement', being an adverb, is treated as part of the verb, and therefore 'tes cartes'  is the direct object of the compound verb 'retourné lentement'?

When n’avoir plus de is followed by countable object. Is the object always in plural form?

"trop de bonbons"

Is "trop" always coupled with "de" when it is followed by a noun?

Bonjour, et merci pour les exercices que vous avez postés ici ... Je suis venu sur le site depuis la vidéo donc je compte comme nouveau! Cela a été assez utile, alors je l'ai partagé avec des amis! Continuez avec le bon travail .. Je suis bon en grammaire en français mais pouvez-vous faire une vidéo "Comment épeler en français"? Merci encore, meilleurs voeux!

The translation -' you went back to your childhood house' is not something we would say in english english. We would either say 'childhood home' or ' the house I lived in in my childhood'.  I'm trying to work out why this is and it has something to do with the word childhood as an abstract noun. Childhood is never an adjective.  ' Childhood home' is a kind of double noun, an inversion of 'home of my childhood' . I'm afraid I'm not a linguist so dont have the grammar to describe this. I just know it sounds very odd, and feels wrong.

Is un repas an acceptable alternative to un dîner ?

Also chez nous instead of à la maison.

"Ma copine Julie et moi nous adorons voyager..."

Is there a rule for when to repeat a compound subject (Julie et moi) with a single pronoun (nous)? It seems that sometimes you do it and sometimes you don't. Thanks!
