Nous nous émerveillions toujours devant les champs de fleurs sauvages qui avaient tout juste commencé à éclore après l'hiver. 

Merci mille fois!

Hello. Is it really possible to find out, which tense i should use, if i only see this first part of the sentence, without knowing whats following?

When we arrived in the changing rooms,

I tend to get tangled up with possessive "de" but wanted to query why the two capitalised nouns above take de l’ rather than d’? The dog is best friend of "Man" not "a man", and capitalising both nouns implies to me a generalisation or personification: despite that, they don’t seem to be treated as proper nouns in French. 

In the sentence 'I'll call you before leaving' (future) in the quizzes, it seems to be translated in the present tense..' Je t'appelle avant de partir'. Is this a colloquialism ?

Thanks

difference?   when used?

Sorry for a rather niche question, it may be a situation that doesn’t often arise, but I’m wondering where the COD and COI pronouns go in a sentence with subject-verb inversion? (I found a reference to y and en)

Cette chanson me rappelle le film 'Etre et avoir'.  Bien pour la rentree aussi.  Merci!

Why was the subjunctive used for « réunisse » in the first part of the sentence but not for « prend » for the second part?

I didn't finish this exercise the first time round. I've come back to it - a long time later - but unfortunately it doesn't remind me which words/phrases to look up in advance, so had to guess all of them! Please could you do a reminder for when this happens?

1st paragraph, 2nd sentence:   saurez-vous retrouvez is translated as : "can you match"   --  can you say a little about how savoir in the futur is used in this case?
