I translated ' to enjoy the delicious traditional meal' as ' pour se régaler du délicieux repas traditionnel'
I understood 'se régaler' was used to express the enjoyment of food rather than just eating it.
I recently saw the expression "Tant bien que mal"
In the context of usage of Que/Qui, what decides the use of 'que' here rather than 'qui' ?
Thank you

As near as I can tell, no transitive usage of DESCENDRE is followed by a preposition, and whenever descendre does take a preposition, it's an intransitive verb. This doesn't tell which of the many meanings of DESCENDRE obtain, but it does seem a reasonable heuristic device. Your thoughts....?
the conjugation of "lire" goes on like "lis" can someone explain how does it work? how come there's an "s"?
In one quiz, a sentence reads J'étais comme votre fils, jusqu'à ce qu'un jour, j'aille dans la bibliothèque de mon quartier,et que je me mette à dévorer les romans “Donjons & Dragons”. I filled the blanks correctly because the tips said to use the subjunctive, but I don't understand why the subjunctive is used here. "I was like your son until one day I went to the library ...", something that definitely happened in the past, so I would have written "je suis allé dans la bibliothèque ... et je me suis mis à dévorer ..." I'm also surprised by the second "que" before "je me mette". Can you give me some insight?
