Why "bien" is used to describe certain nouns (instead of an adjective).....When one is expressing satisfaction with something, "bien" is used. Ce film est bien.... C'est bien, je suis heureuse avec cela.

2 Subjects -Subjonctif

Il a attendu jusqu’à ce qu’il doive partir.

If subjonctif requires 2 subjects- I assume that “he” waited until another “he” had to go?

Qui doen't contract before a vowel

Qu'est-ce que tu penses?

but,

Qui est-ce qui vient ce soir?

Just wondering why 'Qui', which ends in a vowel, wouldn't contract when the following word begins with a vowel, as does the example with 'Que'?

là-dedans

Bonjour!

in the example “ça ne sent pas la rose là-dedans” is translated as “it smells nasty in here”. Formerly I had understood “là-dedans” to mean in there. Is it both or am I just wrong. Sorry, I know this is getting off on a bit of a bunny trail...

merci d’avance!

content or contente?

'mais je suis aussi content parce que je vais revoir mon ami Thomas.'

Should it be "mais je suis aussi contente"?

"I'm good at maths,...." I think that this English translation should drop the "s" on maths.

J'ai eu peur Vs. J'avais peur

I saw the sentence below in a test:

* J'ai eu peur que nous soyons arrivés trop tard *

Why not J'avais peur que nous soyons arrivés trop tard ?!?!

I believe it should be j'avais because we are describing how scared I was, so we should use Imparfait over passe composé !

Thank you
