So why does this sentence ''Rosa craint que nous n'allions en vacances.'' mean that Rosa fears she will not go on vacation? The wrong answer on the quiz leads to the lesson on "ne expletif" that states that the ne does not have any negative meaning. So that would make it seem that Rosa is fearing that we may go on vacation. But the answer is that Rosa is fearing that we will NOT go on vacation. Can you please break this sentence down and explain how the "ne expletif" fits into this?

J'ai besoin DE temps pour réfléchir

I'm curious to know why it's not "J'ai besoin DU temps pour réfléchir" in this sentence? What happens to the definite article "le" for temps?

Une soirée mouvementée (Passé Composé with être)

The 1st sentence in this fill-in-the-blank quiz was " Laissez-moi vous raconter ce qu'il nous........" Translated as, "Let me tell you what happened to us! My response was conjugated to Nous, and so, "sommes arrivés" was incorrect. Should I have conjugated the answer with moi, the subject of the verb? The correct answer was "est arrivé" . Could you please explain why IL became the subject? Thanks.

When I say Le mardi et le jeudi , [je nage] or [ je faire de la natation] à cinq heur. Which one would be correct?

It is a regular activity bit Je faire de la natation seems wrong in this context.

Le moule (mould) needs qualification.

I had to resort to my dictionary as this was not clear which type of mould was meant.

A shape as opposed to a fungus as in going mouldy.
