Hi!
I'm confused with the meaning "I pass by sth/sb", would you pls help to clarify?
in the examples to the lesson "Passer with etre and avoir... change meanings" https://kwiziq.learnfrenchwithalexa.com/my-languages/french/view/4583 the sentence Elle est passée chez Laurent hier is certainly used with "etre", while in the example to the current lesson the example with the same meaning as I can understand from translation implies "avoir": Je passe devant chez toi tous les matins.
What is the difference? Is there any particualar nuance?
Thanks!

It thought that that espérer was followed by the future tense when stated affirmatively, and was followed by the subjunctive tense when espérer when stated as a question or in the negative. Yet, in the writing practice, the following is presented as the correct way to use espérer:
Espérons que cela se rafraichisse dans les jours qui viennent.
Why when that is an affirmative statement? Why isn't this correct?: "Espérons que cela se rafraichira"
"Plus de royauté, etc." Why does that mean "no more," w/out any grammatical indicator of negation, like "ne plus?"
