Am struggling to understand why the answer uses the present subjunctive of etre.

Thanks for any help!

The answer to “I’m going home” is: Je rentre chez moi.  Why is “chez nous” not acceptable?

Hello,

The lesson says: "In the case of de + [people], the preposition de remains and is followed by a stress pronoun (moi, toi, lui, elle, nous, vous, eux, elles)"

But in the video, there's an example "Vous connaissez des francais?" and the answer is, "Oui, nous en connaissons". Shouldn't it be: "Oui, nous connaissons d'eux"?

In “Avec sa nouvelle couche de peinture rouge vif, la petite 2CV paraissait comme neuve”, why is “vif” used instead of “vive” when “peinture” is nf? Thanks, Brian

Hello,

I have a tiny question. If I want to say "I thought about her", should I use:

a) Je lui ai pensée

b) J'ai pensé à lui

c) J'ai pensé à elle

Because I notice that for verb + de, we can use "penser d'elle" (think of her), so for the case verb + à, can we use à + pronouns as well (option b,c)? Can we use "elle" instead of "lui" for such case? Finally, can we use option b) instead of a)?

Is it acceptable to say 'nuits hivernales' here?

Le deuxième e de préférerais ne devrait-il pas être un é et non pas un è ?

Can one use ‘écarter les bras’ as an alternative to ‘ouvrer les bras’?

Why is there no "s" at the end of "quelque"? Would it ever have an "s"?

I am having great difficulty with this despite various peoples attempt to explain. Could someone give a few more examples in English, just breaking the sentence down and showing how you understand which is the subject and which is the object. Thank you!
