ou que nous procédions à un remboursement

In this sentence where is the "you" as the sentence in English was "or we could give you a refund"? why are these English words just being omitted and how are we meant to know when to omit them?

Conjugation after the use of queJe veux tellement qu'ils finissent ensemble. Je le souhaite de tout mon cœur.I want them to end up together so much. I wish it with all my heart.
why is it qu'ils finissent and not qu'ils finir ensemble. Isn't the second verb supposed to be infinitive or does the que indicate the beginning of a new sentence?

Ça dépend. On a de la confiture d'abricot"Ça dépend. On a de la confiture d'abricot ?" Interesting twist in the conversation. I mistakenly read it as spkr 1.."ca depend"/spkr 2.. "on a de la confitured'abricot"..encouragingly sating what she has.

For future reference thoug... is this how I should ask if I were in a deli for instance. Instead of saying "vous" I use "on" ..thus avoiding the interpretation of "do YOU have" and correctly directing the question "do they (the cafe/deli) have?"... Seems a trivial point but I am curious.

With or without C'est que

Why people says Qu'est-ce que c'est que + [something] if Qu'est-ce que + [something] means the same?

Pronunciation of these verbs

I'm having a terrible time with pronunciation of these verbs. Google translate doesn't pick it up well even when I play clips of the native speakers. Any suggestions?

When asked if feminine and masculine

On test the question was to mark those words that were masculine. I marked carpe. It is both feminine and masculine. The answer was wrong. I should have gotten it marked as being correct. Trick question about word endings.

Quizzes count general statements wrong when using common formulation

To second what Syliva said three years ago, statements like "La vie, c'est dure" should be counted as correct on a quiz, not just "La vie est dure."
