que or no que

As I read this lesson, I see two directives: 1) with trouver one always needs "que" and 2) with trouver, sometimes you don't need "que". Please explain a deeper difference between the two usages presented.

“MUM/MOM: Quentin, did you bring your blankie [safety blanket]?”We would call this a comfort blanket, or perhaps a security blanket, but not a safety blanket.

Hint suggestion for feminine -eur wordsI've got questions of this form wrong a few times:
What is this noun's gender: ''lenteur'' ?(HINT: Look at the word's ending)
I wonder if a more useful hint for this type of question would be: "(HINT: The word is an abstract noun.)" as solely looking at the word's ending implies the word is masculine, and makes it more confusing rather than helping learn the exception.

Where is "du" for masculine countries/states/regions?

Hi,

I think this lesson needs to be updated.

Because I learned in another lesson that: (Venir de/d'/du/des = To come/be from with countries/states/regions and continents (French Prepositions)):

De + feminine countries/states/regions

Du + masculine countries/states/regions

In this lesson, you only mention "de," which confuses me a lot at first to see all the examples are used with only "de". I had to cross-check between two lessons to see if I was understanding correctly.

If I'm wrong, please pardon me.

Have a nice day.

Je n'ai fait rien

Est-ce que c'est possible d'écrire "Je n'ai fait rien", ç'est-a-dire, mettre le "rien" de la négation à la fin de la phrase ? Je crois avoir entendu qu'avec ce mot c'est possible mais Kwiziq ne me l'a pas permis.

When to use subjunctive

Pourquoi on utilise le subjonctive avec cette phrase:

Ce sont les meilleures vacances qu'elle ait passées !

Mais pas avect celle-ci:

Ces chanteurs sont les pires que j'ai écoutés !

Je note l'explication qui suit:

Therefore, Le Mode Indicatif can only be used in such cases where the sentence refers to established true facts or statements.
