In the sentence "Est-ce que cette table vous convient ? " why is convient correct and its not convenez please?

"Là, une multitude d'étals de poissons fraîchement pêchés aiguisaient l'appétit des passants"

I don't understand the plural here: Isn't it "Une multitude d'étals" - multitude being singular - which is the subject of the verb - rather than "D'étals" themselves, which would be plural.

I'm trying to devine whether there is some rule at work here here, or whether it's pretty much optional.

What is the function of “y” in the phrase “y compris chez les plus jeunes …”?

This was a great exercise. Just wanted to flag that sometimes after submitting responses, no corrections displayed and I was therefore unable to mark myself.

Hi,  my kwizbot it is telling my that in this example,”Cette maison est bien. - Oui, elle est ________ l'autre.” 

the correct answe is “mieux.” Why? Doesn’t mieux modify a verb? Here were modifying a noun (maison), so it should be “meilleur” by all logic, so why is the correct answer “mieux”? 

In the example sentence "Le meilleur élève parle mieux français que moi." it really sounds to me like parle mieux becomes par lemieux, with the lemieux being very distinct. I've seen that before. Is there a reason for it?

Why are the adjectives feminine when transport is masculine?

Can one use 'une pénalité' for 'penalty' or is that just used in rugby as opposed to soccer?
