Please explain the reason for 2 different conjugations with this verbI have noticed this peculiarity with s'asseoir as well as a couple of other verbs in French; however, I have never read or found an explanation for the reason this exists like such.

Passé composé + avant que : Why subjonctif? It seems very factual (vs doubt)As I see more examples with the subjunctive, I’ve been trying to get the feel for the sense of the usage rather than relying on memorizing the patterns. One example though eludes me as to where the sense of doubt is coming from. In particular, the use of passé composé seems to remove the uncertainty. This statement seems rather factual vs the other examples in the exercise.
Tu es arrivé avant que je n'aie fini mes devoirs.You arrived before I finished my homework
Is there a way of interpreting this to get the sense of the subjunctive mood?

Aimer/aimer bien

I wrote 'Martin aime Sarah ' for the sentence Martin likes Sarah but it was corrected to 'Martin aime bien Sarah'. I know 'aimer 'is tricky and I studies the lesson but still don't understand the difference.

Translation of "a kiss".

I was surprised that you used the word un baiser for a kiss -- it has been my understanding that it is a rude word and has been "replaced" by un bisou. Have I been misguided, or is there a context in which it's okay to use the word? Thanks for whatever light you can shed on my benighted mind...
