It says jusqu'à ce que and subjunctive is for until someone does something so for example 'we kissed until his parents arrived'. But could it also apply to 'we talked until it became too late'? So a second part of the sentence not done by someone but a situation without a person and action.

I found I had more difficulty with the punctuation that the words! A lot of English writing increasingly drops commas these days, and it might be helpful to know the French rules! For example, I wouldn’t put a comma before "in Spain" in the first sentence.
I'm learning a piece of music by the composer Georges Hüe. How is this last name pronounced? From the description I saw on https://www.lawlessfrench.com/pronunciation/dieresis/ I am guessing that the "H" is silent, the "ü" is pronounced as a standard "u," and the "e" is voiced instead of silent. Is that correct? (If someone knows IPA, then perhaps that would be a good way to answer?)
In this structure in English, you can use either an object pronoun or a subject pronoun plus a verb. You can't use a subject pronoun without a verb. "She is taller than me." OR "She is taller than I am." BUT NOT "She is taller than I."

commence par une vocale et que quand il commence par une consonante, est-ce qu'ilya une règle?
