Quand est-ce qu'on utilise "pendant que" avec le subjonctif?
Hi, should “et il faudra que vous vérifiez leurs conditions” in fact be “et il faudra que vous vérifiiez leurs conditions” as vérifier is in the subjunctive?

I have been trying to understand what “fixerent” means/where it comes from (please excuse lack of accents in my question). At first I thought the translation should be the two dogs stare or are staring at each other.I then found a conjugation table and found “fixerent” (with the accent over the e) is passé simple.I have only just been moved up to “B2” level on Kwiziq but I don’t understand how the passé simple is used and so don’t follow it’s use within this lesson.Why is it not passé compose using etre?Thanks for your assistance.
How to say “ I meant to say” in French to mean as a whole
Pourquoi pas "une cocarde bleue et rouge"...... ?
This question was asked in a previous quiz, and the answer was you cannot tell the gender of the ‘“amie”. I understand that the ending e makes it a female friend, but if the question is verbalized, that is not available information. In the quiz I just took, the answer is ‘a woman’. I am confused as to how to answer this question in future quizzes, as two different answers have been given.
I hope it’s OK to pose a vocabulary question - at first I took this to mean the dog has taken the person’s food, but today I came across a module in Duolingo (apologies...) translating "croquettes" as "kibble", ie dog food. Is that the intended meaning?
