Just wanna double check, in the sentance "J'admire leurs belles créations" there is actually no way of hearing if it's plural or singular? Or am i suppose to understand that it was suppose to be plural somehow?

"ce sont des filles"

Clearly the nice and better is being used for the boyfriends (subject) and not is the verb, then why on earth are we using mieux here? It seems to be an error, feel free to correct me though.

Re Daniel E’s post and responses below

I’m finding the use of the subjunctive past for future actions unexpectedly tricky, I think because the English "I need to leave by nine" or "they need us to arrive", already includes the idea of a completed future action (you can’t leave without having left or arrive without having arrived!)

Is the subjunctive present ever an option in this type of sentence or is the subjunctive past mandated?

Way too fast to understand! 

I thought DE followed the negative.  In which case(s) is that true?

Martin likes Sarah. -> Martin aime bien Sarah. I answered this question with simply "Martin aime Sarah", and I wonder why was it marked as a mistake. Nothing in the question suggested that it's the friendly sort of like, it could very well be a romantic sort of like. Both options seem grammatically correct to me. Isn't that right?

J'ai lu trois livres dont les tiens/ les vôtres. [I read 3 books including yours.]

Is this correct? Or should it be le tien? Masculine/plural form should be used because the noun is 'les livres'? 

In the audio for “Bonjour, je souhaiterais visiter l'Afrique francophone.” is anyone else hearing instead “Bonjour, je souhaiterais à visiter l'Afrique francophone.”?
