Use of dontIn French, does one think of somebody, or does one think to somebody. Surely " La personne dont je pense me rend heureux." is correct. The person of whom I think makes me happy. Yet the answer shown to be correct was, " La personne à laquelle je pense me rend heureux." The person to whom I think makes me happy." Please clarify this for me. Thank you.

ne explétifIsn't it also correct to use the ne explétif? "J'ai eu peur que nous ne soyons arrivés trop tard." I entered this and it was marked wrong. Thanks.

"Les vaches, dont les fermiers observent les bébés, se reposent dans le pré." Who is in the meadow?The cows, {including} or{ whose} the farmers watch the babies, rest in the meadow. Question "Who is in the meadow?" it could be 1. The cows. or 2. The babies. This is a questionable question.

Why does "bientôt" comes in between "pourra" and "parler"?Would someone be able to direct me to a lesson where I can learn why "bientôt" comes in between "pourra" and "parler" in the example: "Il pourra bientôt parler russe."

question from Week 91 level A2 testIt notified me that you were my electricity provider. The correct answer was Elle m'informait que vous étiez mon fournisseur d'électricité. Is this in the imperfect tense because it is a continuing action (still my provider) or because it is in the past tense but with no specific time frame? Thank you for your help.
