Selon Tom, elles seraient rentrées chez elles vers 3h.
According to Tom, they went home (lit.would have gone home) around 3.

You have put ça lui est égal is masculine and Celia lui est égal is feminine. Then when ask to answer which are correct for he doesn’t mind and you said both answers were correct?
Why was my answer marked wrong because I used tu instead of vous when there was no indicator either way.

Thank you
Tu recueilleras ce qu'il dit.You will take down what he says.
In “en espérant que je ne me rende pas compte de son absence.”
We have “rendre” in the subjunctive as “rende”. This has been triggered by “espérer que”. But I thought that an affirmative use of “espérer que” would use the Indicative as opposed to the Subjunctive. I don’t know what additional implication the use of the gerund has though…
