Use of de with plural nouns and adjectives"de branches cassées" is used rather than "des branches cassées". The lesson states that "de" is correct when the adjective is before the noun, however I have noted recently on several occasions in exercises "de" has been used when the adjective is after the noun. Am I missing something?

S'accroupir v tapir

l'homme avec un couteau qui était tapi derrière le fauteuil familier de la femme / the man with a knife who was crouching behind the woman's familiar armchair

An alternative correct answer to the above was "...qui tapissait derrière..."

In that case, shouldn't (my answer) "...qui s'accroupissait derrière...' also be acceptable?

"sortir" - it has both verb intransitive and transitive - can we use 2 voiced for "to be released/published" ?Le nouveau James Bond est sorti la semaine dernière.The new James Bond was released last week.
On peut aussi exprimer la même chose ("...was released last week") avec la voix passive ?: "Le nouveau James Bond a été sorti semaine dernière"

The place of subject pronouns

Why is 'Daphné apprend-elle le français' correct while 'Daphné apprend-t-elle le français' is marked wrong. All the examples in the lesson add 't' when the verb does'nt elide.
