Hi in example 6: Tu me l'as demandé. You asked me it, I think in English we’d probably drop the ‘it’ but do you have to keep the l’ (le/la) in French?

CP VS le subjonctif? Hey! I was wondering if one could sometimes replace the conditionnel passé with the subjonctif, and vice versa. This because the CP also technically deals with "judged" (you should have done x" situations?

EN famille vs AVEC famille vs AVEC VOTRE famille.

Did some reading and it seems that if you are talking about 'YOUR own family' you use EN FAMILLE.. if the activity excluded anyone BUT family. If you are talking about someone else's family or using a possessive pronoun (he ate with HIS family=AVEC sa famille/he ate with the Jones family = avec la famille Jones/I ate with (my) family= j'ai mange en famille. If this is correct why then did Monsieur Dulac not say "Alors, je vous souhaite un bon weekend avec ta famille". Is it because this interpretation is "a good family weekend"; a compound noun with EN; rather than "a good weekend with family". Or is my reading /premise wrong?
