Chapter 13 - auxiliary verbs and how they’re used to form compound tenses in French. This chapter mostly just referred the reader to other chapters (e.g. what is a participle) - so hopefully those have more info. The tenses in this chapter were the ones I already knew, but good to attach tense names to them so I can talk about them.

Chapter 15 - asking questions. The book incorrectly stated that “je” can’t be used in the inverted question form, but I’ve definitely seen it used - especially puis-je (may I) and suis-je (am I). And Chapter 16 - introduction to tense. All tenses listed were indicative mood only. This list actually made French look simpler than English. It left out simple past though.

Chapter 14 - negative sentences and negative words. As usual, just too basic, but a good reminder about this nuance: Je n’ai rien vu, but je n’ai vu personne.

Subject pronouns… wish they’d spent more time on “on” instead of “consult your textbook”. Textbooks usually don’t introduce that pronoun in my experience - and certainly not early on. I was also incorrectly taught only one use of “on” - which I’m still not sure is actually a correct interpretation or not.
