I was not aware that se dépêcher can often be followed by the preposition "de". 

So could I say:  "Je me dépêche d'y arriver à l'heure"?

Thank you for your wonderful website.  Adelaida. 

In a French grammar book I have it gives an example of 'vouloir que' being followed by a verb in the subjunctive which does not 'express a desire for someone else to do something,' which according to the Kwiziq lesson it should do.  

'Le réalisateur n'a pas voulu que son film sorte avant la rentrée.' (The director did not want his film to come out before September.)

Could you please advise.

Thank you.

Why does one say "j'ai arrêté de parler" and not "je me suis arrêté de parler"? 

arrêter is a transitive verb and thus to my understanding takes an object but the verb parler can not be an object in the example above. So how do I know what one to use.

Tôt is wrong to say you are early today? Why? 

Pour la question 12, puis-je écrire, 'je lutterais contre le machiavélique Cardinal Richelieu'?

When comparing my answer with Kwizbot's (around Question 9):

Kwizbot: Ajoutez-y quelques CUILLERS de crème

Me: Ajoutez y quelques CUILLÈRES de crème

Kwizbot spells cuillères correctly in the answer box but incorrectly in the comparison box.

Hope this makes sense

I know that in direct pronouns are me, te, lui ... and they are used when the noun comes after a preposition but why is it m'aide and not l'aide?

How do I know canines are feminine? Because the singular ends in ‘e?’
