aimer v adorer

i learned that aimer is to love a person or animal but it means like for an object and if you want to love an object you use adorer eg j'adore le chocolat - i love chocolat. j'aime le chocolat - i like chocolat. Is this wrong?

Subjonctif futur"J'ai peur que tu ne le fasses" means "I'm scared you'll do it" according to one test. But shouldn't it rather be "I'm scared you are doing it"? There seems to be no subjonctif futur in French?

Vas-yVous avez dit que pour les verbes 'er', ils perdent la 's', mais j'entends tout le temps 'vas-y'. C'est une erreur, ou c'est quelque chose de normal? Merci

"en même temps" vs. "à la fois"

There seems to be a subtle difference between en même temps and à la fois when expressing "at the same time"; can you state the general rule?

Imperative and the subjunctive Hi there I'm glad to see someone else ask the question about "ayons-en" above. I see Ron has replied but I'm still unclear as to why the subjunctive is used in the imperative of some verbs and not others. Is there a lesson on this? Many thanks Alison

Perhaps an example of "c'est" using a negative statement.

After more than a year of these lessons, I'd not learned "ce n'est pas" is how you say it is not "something" - for example - "Ce n'est pas une bonne taille." Great discovery (I found it in a weekend writing lesson) ! Great course !

Meilleur vs MieuxI've checked this one using the Google translator and it agrees with me that the correct translation should be: Son copain est gentil mais le mien est meilleur (not mieux). Please explain.
