I love the use of the colors !  You might consider using them in all the examples as well.  Finally, for even greater clarity - select a color for the subject of the verb (that which is doing the "bringing to mind").  Again, the colors are so powerful. Thank you for all the great lessons.

To piggyback on the question below, sort of, I have heard & read the use of garder to describe babysitting children, par exemple: "Nous gardons les enfants ici." This obviously doesn't mean that they are physically keeping possession of the kids there, like prisoners (although the kids may think so). Is this one of those instances where context is everything or is it incorrect usage?

Après _être rentrée_chez elle, Martine a fait une sieste.

After going back home, Martine had a nap

Elles rentrent après que le bus les a déposées.

''They go home after the bus has dropped them off.'' ?

Why does one sentence require ‘chez elle’ and the other not?

Why is it "je m'assurerai ..." and not "je t'assurerai... " ?

In the phrase "J'entends encore Papi râler comme il descendait..." why isn't the second verb râler conjugated given the subject changed?

With respect, I think that this lesson fails to make a clear distinction between the many different ways of using "to miss" and "missing" in English and "manquer" and "rater" in French. I suggest that the lesson be broken down and recreated as several lessons, each with a clear learning objective. 

This was a very interesting lesson to me that appeared in my dashboard but I have always believed that in daily life the subjonctif passé would not be used. Is this a question of educational level or are there simpler ways to express the same sentiments?

The official name uses the hyphenated form < la Croix-Rouge > (this was 'corrected' to the non hyphenated form on the answers)

An observation 

When I leave the dashboard to do a Kwiz, I then get the option to do another Kwiz.. (Test recommended again) and continuing without going back to the dashboard and often find that there are new questions coming up on subjects that I have not studied.. then when I go back to the dashboard, I discover that there are a whole load of new lessons.

Any chance of indicating next to the Kwiz again box that there are new lessons on the dashboard?

I went with "Le Halloween".

In my research, I found reference to an answer to a question that "Noël and Pâques don't have an article in front of them but the Saints days do". Is Halloween like Christmas and Easter (no article), and does this apply to other non-Saint holidays?
