Could someone remind why the subjunctive (j'aie) is used in this context. Thanks

Bonjour, J'ai a entendu "cinquantaine", pas "cinquante". Ai-je raison ? - Allison

Why do you use “je chantais” instead of “j’ai chanté” after “Hier, en allant au travail? You mention that this happened yesterday, so it is a completed action in the past. 

Hi. Twice I've been marked wrong when I omitted the "heures" when filling in the blanks for a library or such open from one hour to another. It appears that the computer isn't recognizing the section of the lesson ("between to times"). Why? Very confusing.

Could one also say, "Le matin j'avais beau de me reveiller?"

is there a list of verbs that do or do not take the ne expletif

Mon père donne des cours à l'université. __________ prof de sciences.
I thought that il est and elle est are used for unmodified identification of profession, but in the previous sentence prof is modified with de sciences, so does il est work here. Also if we use c'est we would have to add un before prof, but in the exercise it says use c'est or il est\elle est ...etc. So I am confused.

In the first sentence of the text - Did you know that the town council [US: city hall] has decided.... etc., the Hint advises ...- "has decided" = Use Le Plus-que-Parfait here.

In the related lesson, the examples show 'had' and not 'has' as being translated using the plus-que-parfait?

Hello,

Can you help me understand the use of "en" and "y" as replacement pronouns in the sentence "J'en profiterai pour y aller avec lui"? I understand the general rules as explained in the lessons, but in this case I don't understand why they are both being applied. Wouldn't you just use "y" here to replace "la banque" ? Why are both "en" and "y" used? 

Thank you.
