In this example - Le temps que nous arrivions, mon avion était déjà parti !
Why is it not - "Le temps que nous soyons arrivés..." because it means By the time we arrived... Why Subjonctif Passé is not used?
In the phrase, "où ils lui ont confisqué son portable", Why is "lui" there? If it's a pronoun for "him" why does it need to be there? (The subject is "they", the verb is "confiscated" and the object is "his mobile phone".) What grammer rule requires "him" to be part of this sentence? Is there a lesson that explains the answer (I feel like I've missed something).
The part of the recording beginning with "Elle adore..." up to " juste au moment..." is missing.

Hello! I'm confused about the sentence: "Pour que tous les habitants comprennent, le roi François Ier décide en 1539 ....

Ex- "Je n'aime pas les foules et je déteste danser" from "
I don't like crowds and I hate dancing"
I came up with "Je deteste les foules et je hate danser"
Some vernacular examples would help.
Why is it une salade de fruits and not une salade des fruits ?
