In the first sentence, could it be où rather than quand, referring back to the 5:45 specified? If not, is it because où is only a restrictive relative, or something else?
I constantly make errors when a infinitive follows another verb. Sometimes the preposition 'de' introduces the infinitive as in "...decide de couper... " in the above exercise. Sometimes the preposition 'à' intervenes as in "intéresser à". Then there are verbs which take no preposition, for example "aller". Finally, we have an example using the preposition pour, as in "...insisted pour payer..." in the exercise. My question is "Are there patterns for these verbs or is it a matter of just learning by rote or just by listening to hundreds of conversations to remember the usage?" Thanks so much for your consideration.
