The answer is reported as "les." But I used "en" because of the previous reference to "des cadeaux" and the following reference to "tous achetes." Would this be correct as well, or, if not, why is it wrong?

Hi Céline, in your excellent response below, just checking that after 'que' je is needed (or implied). Otherwise , wouldn't qui be used?

Just to let you know...

As an alternative to en bousculant les passants, couldn’t you say 

En faisant les coudes aux passants ?

In the activity "En attendant Aline (Le Futur Antérieur)"

It's two in the morning, she must have had an accident! Il est deux heures du matin, elle aura eu un accident ! 

As per my understanding, Futur Anterieur is used for "past" (anterior) events in the future. In this context, there is no future.. They are discussing the possibilities in the past. Could someone else explain. I went through the lessons on Futur Anterieur and did the quizzes. I was able to understand clearly. But this particular activity, I could not understand. Please help.

Does "des lèvres minces" also work?

« Combien d’enfants avez-vous? »

Can’t figure out why this is right. Enfants is plural.

Wouldn’t you say « J’ai des enfants. »
