Avoir + Transitive & Etre + IntransitiveSo in general, when a verb is both transitive and intransitive, we should use avoir with the transitive version, and when applicable, use etre with the intransitive version?

When "quelque chose" is used as a subject, are adjectives feminine? I've seen the sentences "Quelque chose est arrivé." and "Quelque chose est arrivée." Which is correct?

Why 'avoir' instead of 'etre' before 'raison'I saw in one of the examples the following sentence. Je crois que mon ami a raison. why is 'a' used before 'raison'. Shouldn't it be 'est' if we speak literally?

Could you use a subjunctive if one said, 'Je ne sais pas si ....'

Guessing that 'Je ne sais pas si ...' is acceptable ?  If so, does the same rule apply to use a subjunctive as you would when 'Je ne sais pas que ...' is used ?

How do you say "within an hour"?"Dinner will be served within an hour" was the wrong choice on the test for "le dîner sera servi dans une heure". If I wanted to be less precise than "in an hour's time", how would I express that?

Deux verbes en une sentance

Comment on utilise deux  verbes consécutivement dns une sentance? J'ai vu plus que un cas. Pour exemple:

1). Je veux d'apprendre le français. Ou: Je veux manger maintenent.

Quelles sont les regles? Avwez-vous une leçon pour çi?

Merci beaucoup en avance.

Chris
