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?

Pourquoi de onze pas d’onze?La Fausse des Mariannes est profonde de onze kilomètres.

This answer was said to be correct however I had not ticked it because I thought « de onze » was incorrect. Why isn’t it « d’onze » ?
