Why not use the past subjunctive instead of the present subjunctive which is used here? It’s translated from ‘Before you turned our world...’.
Thanks
The "les notres" replaces the plural noun "plantes" which is feminine; so why is the " les notres masculine? What am I missing here? Would appreciate imput.
Best wishes

I read this phrase somwhere: <> also the same tense (i.e. futur proche dans le passé?
What confuses me here is that this translates in English literally as: "This week, the museum announced that the art was going to be restored from next February." But that's absurd because then we have a nuance of the past (the museum announced; art was going to be restored) as well as future (from next February).
Wouldn't the simple futur proche tense suffice here since we are talking about the future?
Thanks in advance for your help!
Merci en avance !
You say that most words ending in -e are feminine, and yet don't give a single example... Same for masculine.... Wouldn't it make sense to actually list at least a few of the most common words that someone at the A1 level should know? I would be more likely to remember a rule if I'm looking at examples of that rule.... I mean, isn't that the point of examples? To help clarify and to help it stick in you brain. You only give examples of words that are the exceptions. While I understand your point, it seems kind of odd to me.
