I came across ‘je ne pense pas qu’ils auraient reussi à s’arracher à lui s’il était revenu.’  (Harry Potter translation).  Although penser when negated takes the subjunctive is the subjunctive not used when a conditional tense is needed? I guess I’m not sure whether tenses change the use of the subjunctive. I read the future changes to the present to us the subjunctive. 

I was doing an exercise about what in subject, the phrase was: Jacques est descendu du haricot magique". I translated it as "Jack climbed down the magic beanstalk" and the system told me that the correct answer was "Jack got off the magic beanstalk". Why?

Why do we place the adjective before the noun in some sentences, and after the noun in some sentences?

If there are multiple adjectives after c’est, do they gender match the subject?

In the phrase 'Jules m'apprendra à faire du snowboard', I used 'enseignera' but this was not listed as an optional answer. Could you explain please? Thanks.

In "Tu te souviens de mon ami Alain, que je connais depuis l'école hôtelière", is it okay to use "dont" instead of que?

Thanks!

Statement: ...Je me sens beaucoup mieux !  Question: Tu sens une différence ?

Why does the question use sentir and not se sentir (ie, "Tu te sens...)?  Is it because the statement is about feeling better ("internal" feeling) and the question is about feeling a difference (perceiving something)?  Would "Tu te sens mieux ?" be a correct way to ask if someone is feeling better?

If the sentence  is "Elle finira en prison pour avoir tué son amant." ....why does the English translation say "She will end up in prison for killing her lover" and not 'She will end up in prison for having killed her lover"....?

and when do you use    malgre lui

My computer is not allowing me to type the cedilla. So I am getting all these wrong!
