Use of subjunctive with jusqu’a ce que.....Ben restera assis à ce bureau jusqu'à ce qu'il ait fini ses devoirs.

Hi, can you please tell me why one uses the subjunctive in the above sentence. I thought that you only used the subjunctive if the subject of the main clause and the subclause were different. In the sentence above, they are the same.

Thanks

Sondy

Il est or c'est in this case

Can you tell me which is the correct translation in this case and why?

I find it hard to decide which category it comes in.

It is logical that you have gone first.

1. Il est logique que vous soyez passée la première

2. C'est logique que vous soyez passée la première

question on example with "se faire dorer la pilule"

Is this translation a mistake? It says this means to sunbathe, but the dictionary says it is to sugarcoat...? Merci!

Salut a tous

I have a pronunciation question. When do I know that the "ll" is pronounced "l" as in ville and when it is pronounced "y" as in vieille.
