Que-est-ce que vous voulez dire par "Note that when the verb is at the infinitive, « de » should be added in front of « avant ». Vous pouvez dire "avant l'infinitive," n'est-ce pas?

On peut avoir la préposition *à* devant l'infinitif ou *de* devant l'infinitif (ou bien, sans préposition), ça dépend du cas. La construction "de avant" ou "d'avant" n'a aucun sens dans ce contexte. (Par exemple, on dit "Avant *de* parler, je me brosse les dents", et *pas* "D'avant parler...")

I agree with Edith, the wording is not correct in the lesson. But there are a lot of errors in this lesson to be cleaned up. Torusan is also correct and gives good examples.
