Se rappeler avec ou sans “de” ou “des”For a question on the topic of rappeler and souvenir the use of “de” is tested. I gave the response " Vous vous rappelez Îles Cyclades" and did not use rappelez “des” but this was marked incorrect. All discussion communicates that "de" is not needed or is optional after "rappeler" except for stressed pronoun. This is in contrast to requiring “de” after se souvenir. I am trying to understand why "des" is needed in this situation.

Quitter vs PartirWe were asked to translate “I am leaving my place”. But it is ambiguous in English. E.g. if followed by “for ever” (as in moving out of my apartment), that would be “quitter”. But followed by “so i will see you at the cafe soon” would be “partir”. Shouldn’t the phrase be clarified to avoid ambiguity?

Le Subjonctif with sentences using “Superlatives”

Bonjour Madame Cécile!

This is a sentence from a lesson explaining the use of “le meilleur” ->

C'est la meilleure idée que tu aies jamais eue!
It's the best idea you've ever had!

Here, why has the verb ‘avoir’ been placed in Le Subjonctif ?

Is this because of the key word -> que ?

I request you to provide a few more examples as it’s the first time I have come across this case.

Merci beaucoup!

Je vous souhaite une bonne journée!
