Examples with que

It would be good to see some examples with que as well, not just qui or qu'

"If including / [number] of which is followed by a conjugated verb, in French you need to add a relative pronoun (qui or que / qu') in front of the verb"

Very small punctuation error

In the French written answer there should be a full stop instead of a comma in the line “Bien sûr Madame, On vous apporte ça tout de suite”. The corresponding line in English has a full stop. Thanks.

"Je n'ai guère d'amis." means I hardly have any friends'

I think the native speaker would say 'I have hardly any' rather than 'I hardly have any'. 'Hardly any' is an expression, I think.

Une clope vs. de clope

Hello,

Why is it not 'tu n'as pas de clope?'

I thought we used a partitive article rather than a definite article when doing negations? So, in this case, de vs. une.

Abstract or things to thank forHi, in this example: Elle vous remercie pour toute votre aide - I would think of "de" instead of "pour" as it does look to me as an abstract noun. There's no context and we can think of moral aid as well, which is clearly abstract. How to choose in similar cases? Merci en avance!

What triggered the subjunctive?

Hi, in

“Depuis mon plus jeune âge, qu'on soit à la maison ou chez des amis”

what triggered the subjunctive (i.e. “soit”). Was it the “depuis … que” structure?

Sentence Missing In Audio

In the "full text for you to read and listen to" at the end of the exercise, the 5th sentence in the dialog "- Avez-vous besoin de voir le menu ?" is shown in the text but is missing in the audio. The audio is present in the individual section of the exercise.

I see this was addressed in N. Hillary's question/comment from 6 months ago.

Why is 'rester' used in this example (rather than future of s'asseoir) and why is the subjunctive of avoir used rather than subjunctive of finir?
How would you say "Ben will sit at that desk until after he's finished his homework." ?Ben restera assis à ce bureau jusqu'à ce qu'il ait fini ses devoirs.Ben restera assis à ce bureau jusqu'à ce qu'il finisse ses devoirs.
