And this:mettez le text en passe:
Vendredi soir, aprçs le dîner, ma femme et moi, nous __sommes allés___ (aller) chez des amis jouer aux cartes. Quand nous __sommes partis__ (partir) de chez eux, il _neigait_ (neiger) ! Alors nous __sommes arrivés__ (arriver) chez nous ß deux heures du matin. C’est pourquoi, samedi matin nous _dormions__ (dormir) jusqu’ß dix heures.
I've already done most of it. I just need someone to tell me if its right, and corrext my mistakes.

I'll send this to our French expert. Please check back.
When you post something, it is always best to begin with the directions you are given. Otherwise, sometimes it is impossible to select the correct answer.
15. You must pick a conjugated verb agreeing with "nous" and because the dependent clause uses the Present Indicative Tense (the first one you learned), the answer is "restons."
25. Since there is no way, without the directions, to know if this is to be Past or Present Tense, I'll go with L'Im parfait = "Mangeais." All -ger verbs in the Imperfect must add an "e" to get the soft g sound.
aprçs needs to be après...neigait is the hard "g" sound so you need to add an "e" to soften it = neigeait (another -ger verb)...tat strange letter between "nous" and "deux" should be "à" and again with "jusqu'à"
With the last sentence, I would NOT use L'Imparfait = we were sleeping, but instead the Passé Composé to say we DID sleep = nous avons dormi
I'll flag this so that I can come back later to see if you had more questions.
Sra (aka Mme)
P.S. If you don't know how to make accent marks with the computer, I need to know 2 things: 1) do you have a PC or a Mac and 2) do you have Windows or not.
Sure, I can help you with that! Let's go through each sentence and check if your answers are correct:
15. Comme je suis en , nous ___restons___ chez nous. (restions, reste, restons).
Your answer of "restons" is correct. It means "we stay" and is the correct conjugation for the pronoun "nous" (we).
25. Tous les samedis je ___mangeais___ des crêpes. (Mangeais, ai mangé, mangais)
Your answer of "mangeais" is correct. It means "I used to eat" and is the correct conjugation for the pronoun "je" (I).
Now, let's move on to the passage where you need to put the verbs in the past tense:
Vendredi soir, après le dîner, ma femme et moi, nous ___sommes allés___ (aller) chez des amis jouer aux cartes.
Quand nous ___sommes partis___ (partir) de chez eux, il ___neigeait___ (neiger) !
Alors nous ___sommes arrivés___ (arriver) chez nous à deux heures du matin.
C’est pourquoi, samedi matin nous ___dormions___ (dormir) jusqu’à dix heures.
Your answers are correct for all the verbs. You have correctly conjugated them in the past tense using the auxiliary verb "être" (to be) for reflexive verbs like "se partir" and "se coucher" and for the verb "aller". The other verbs have been conjugated using the auxiliary verb "avoir" (to have).
Overall, it seems like you have done a good job. Keep up the good work!
