"visiter" des personnes?

J'ai bien compris l'usage de "tout ce qui", mais je pensais que l'on ne pouvait "visiter" que des lieux, pas des personnes.

Avoir d’habitue de

I’m confused by the instruction given for how to use this phrase. Both present and imparfait are defined as “used to” in the examples. what am I missing? Of course for the very first question about this topic I bombed. And I don’t know why. Is there any additional instruction on this topic?

Present vs. Past subjunctiveElles ne sont pas allées à la soirée ________ là.They didn't go to the party for fear that you would be there.(HINT: Use 'tu'.)
The correct answer is "de crainte que tu ne sois."Why do we use the present subjunctive instead of theimparfait subjunctive or past subjunctive?
"They didn't go to the party for fear that you would be there."In English, I typically hear "out of fear" vs. "for fear."
Why do we pair le passé composé with the present subjunctive?The past action or inaction was in the past and the fear (of you) wasin the past. I submitted "fusses," but that was incorrect. I assumethat "aies été" was incorrect as well.
Is there a time period where you typically use imparfait (more thana day? or a week?) vs. passé composé with être?
