Plural "des"When I answered one of the questions with "J'ai honte des mes infidélités," it was marked wrong in favor of "J'ai honte de mes infidélités." Yet one of the examples on this page is almost identical and it used "des" as I did: "Thomas a honte des opinions de certains hommes." Confusing. Can you help explain please?

Savoir que + subjonctif?

In the phrase "...parce que je savais que nous nous en souviendrions pour le reste de notre vie," why is se souvenir conjugated in the Conditional? I thought a verb following "savoir que" had to take the subjunctive, especially since it is not a known fact.

faire les magasins vs faire du shopping

I have read the answers in the discussion where this has been raised previously and reread the lesson which says both are correct. Then the quiz question regarding "sales" is still marked incorrect when "faire du shopping" is submitted as an answer. Why?

‘ne pas + infinitif’

Could someone kindly elaborate on the grammatical structure behind instances when ‘ne’ and ‘pas’ occur side-by-side, like ‘Tu peux ne pas venir’ and ‘Prière de ne pas déranger’ please?
