So, as the rule in this lesson states that in Negation we use Ne...Personne instead of N'importe qui for saying 'anyone' ...so, should it be? - 

- Elle ne fait personne confiance. [She does not trust anyone.] Because the negation surrounds the main conjugated verb?

the conjugation of "lire" goes on like "lis" can someone explain how does it work? how come there's an "s"? 

I translated ' to enjoy the delicious traditional meal' as ' pour se régaler du délicieux repas traditionnel'

I understood 'se régaler' was used to express the enjoyment of food rather than just eating it.

How would you say Marc didn't watch it?  What is the order of the object pronouns in passé composé when the sentence is negative?

I recently saw the expression "Tant bien que mal"

In the context of usage of Que/Qui, what decides the use of 'que' here rather than 'qui' ?

Thank you

In one quiz, a sentence reads  J'étais comme votre fils, jusqu'à ce qu'un jour, j'aille dans la bibliothèque de mon quartier,et que je me mette à dévorer les romans “Donjons & Dragons”. I filled the blanks correctly because the tips said to use the subjunctive, but I don't understand why the subjunctive is used here. "I was like your son until one day I went to the library ...", something that definitely happened in the past, so I would have written "je suis allé dans la bibliothèque ... et je me suis mis à dévorer ..." I'm also surprised by the second "que" before "je me mette". Can you give me some insight?

Can you say that hamburger was “grand” instead of “gros ? What is the difference between these 2 adjectives?

As near as I can tell, no transitive usage of DESCENDRE is followed by a preposition, and whenever descendre does take a preposition, it's an intransitive verb. This doesn't tell which of the many meanings of DESCENDRE obtain, but it does seem a reasonable heuristic device. Your thoughts....?
