Il a gagné la course, ce qui est impressionnant.He won the race, which is amazing.
Ce qui in this suggests the word race is the subject. Why? I am really struggling with which is the subject or object in more complex sentences. Isn’t he the subject doing the winning ?I believe the correct English spelling is "eccentricity", not "excentricity", at least according to my New Oxford American Dictionary, as well as this website's spell-checker.

Why does sortis have an "s" - I understand that être verbs will agree with subject but this is "on" - I did not think that this was treated at plural "nous"
Bonjour !
J’avais dû en racheter un nouveau après que Patrick avait cassé le mien.
This sentence is an example from the lesson. Here, plus-que-parfait has been used in both the verbs. Though the action of breaking took place first and then came the necessity to buy a new one.
Would you like to explain how these two cases can be both Le plus-que-parfait ?
Merci d’avance !
