"Je suis entré dans le salon sans que tu ne me voies." Since the main verb is not negated, aren't you NOT supposed to use the ne explétif?

Isn't the meaning of "d'ici neuf heures" actually "within nine hours"?

In other words, doesn't "Il faut que je sois parti d'ici neuf heures" essentially mean "I'll have to be gone in nine hours"?

Re: Qu'aiment-ils?

The correct answer is given as What do they love? I thought that aimer is love when discussing people, therefore WHO makes more sense.

Should the correct answer be What do they LIKE?

What about Qu’adorent-ils?

Translation of the English word "efficient" in FrenchI noticed that "efficient" gets translated in French as "efficace".
However, "efficient" and "effective" have two very different meanings. Google Translate is equally mixing things up, but the French word "efficient" does seem to exist.

Is French less specific in these two words, or is it a misunderstanding of the difference at / error by KwizIQ?
