Why does the final sentence, "Plutôt fuir que d'être pris la main dans le sac," utilize être in "d'être pris" vs avoir like in "d'avoir pris." ???
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.

I shouldn't have eaten so much...
Je n'ai devrais pas trop mangé
I know this is incorrect, but would like some guidance on how to correctly state this.
Thank you
Bonjour Madame,
I have often read about the usage of "Penser à + (quelqu'un)"
But in the sentence from the lesson which reads-
"Nous pensons à faire nos devoirs. Nous y pensons"
Here I think the form "penser de + (quelquechose) should be used as the people are forming an opinion of something(doing their homework)
So consequently the phrase should be replaced by 'en'.
The same thought is for the very next sentence.
Pls guide and verify whether my thought is correct or not.
Merci beaucoup.
