The corrections give the options of both subjunctive and indicative conjugation following the verb "esperer". Can you clarify? Thanks

I know that the translation is often literal, but would the following be a correct ways of writing "without me being made aware of it!" - sans avoir m'avertir (in place of sans que j'en sois informé. The latter seems cumbersome.

Also can one use "Encore une fois" in place of "Une fois de plus"?

Thanks

In the passage we have both

'du fait qu'il est le seul'

and

'le fait qu'il n'y ait pas de jeu'

and I wonder why one is indicative and one subjunctive?

This sentence is from a B1 reading exercise about French cooking. Here, propre is translated as " specific". So, is this an alternative meaning to 'clean'?

Could you have as an alternative translation 'J'aurais pu l'y laisser' ?

Hello again - some more queries. Looking especially for nuances in meaning/usage:
1. Why "bienvenue" and not "bienvenu"?
2.  Instead of "j'aimerais annuler une commande" would it be acceptable to say "je voudrais annuler une commande"?
3.  instead of "j'ai passé ma commande" would it be acceptable to say "j'ai placé ma commande"?
4.  "j'attendrais patiemment votre prochaine livraison."  Is   "j'attendrais patiemment pour votre prochaine livraison" ever correct?

Thanks in advance. Love your work!

Best wishes
Ian

The exercise says "When the main verb is in the passé composé, it is followed by the passé composé or plus que parfait" so why, in the following example, is the passé composé followed by the present tense.
