Pourquoi est-ce qu'on écrit "ma sœur ou moi allumions une bougie à tour de rôle" C'est seulement une des sœurs qui fait la tâche.. donc , logiquement "allumer" serait au singulier???????

This point has been already raised in an answer to a previous question but has not received any attention. So would like to pick it up again.

I have two grammar books containing examples with "dont" and numbers which do not state this requirement for "qui". For brevity I will just cite one of them:

"Grammaire Progressive du Français B1 B2", 2019, p.116:
"Ils ont trois grands enfants dont deux sont médecins."

So my assumption is that "qui" is not required, if the "number" is the subject of the next sentence.

I cannot quite figure out why the verb 'remplir' is in the form 'remplis'. Is it because 'remplis' is used as an adjective?

Why is the expression not included in the list of given words? Surely it is less common than say enfin, car which are included?

Eg. Can you say J'aime mangeant instead of J'aime manger

what should we use with piscine sur or dans

sorry if this is a stupid question but why isn't visiter written in the infinitive form after a conjugated verb (rendre) 

Can you have "je courrai sur le tapis roulant pour une demie heure" because its the future tense?
