I am a male Austrian, but I fill up with the feminine word 'nationalité' that agrees with the feminine adjective 'autricienne' but I don't know which example is correct.

Please tell me which example is appropriate for a male Austrian nationality. Thank you.

vous seriez surprise(you would be surprised) ils auraient de la chance(they would be lucky.

Both are saying "would be" when to use "seriez" and when to use auriez. Because they both are coming from etre and avoir,

Any clarification or any clue will help.

Le Gérondif vs que/qui?

Using le gerondif seems simpler that using a more complex construction using qui. For instance:

People don't eat the produce coming from farmers using pesticides. (Les gens ne mangent pas les produits des agriculteurs utilisant des pesticides)

People don't eat the produce coming from farmers that use pesticides. (Les gens ne mangent pas les produits des agriculteurs qui utilisent des pesticides)

Is there a preference?

Passe compose in "I've always found it magical"

"I've always..." describes something that starts in the past and must surely still be going on. How is that not the use of imparfait? Similarly in another recent lesson, "I fell in love with..." again states a condition now (in love) that began in the past. Yet both of these were phrased in Passe Compose. I've read and reread the lessons on passe-compose/imparfait but they do not seem to address "I've always found... I fell in love...". Please help, Je suis tellement exaspéré ! :-)

Point of grammar in the sentence - Pense à ce qui te fait du bien et détends-toi.

In the above sentence why is it "pense" à but then "détends"-toi. Since it's the tu form, why isn't it "Penses à"

Thanks for your help.
