Hello! Why is timid spelled timide in this case? Wouldn’t timide be feminine agreement and not masculine - referring to Tom?

If I understand the example in the lesson and these comments correctly, the answer should actually be "Il était une fois, un roi qui vivait dans son château."

OK, let me see if I have this straight:

"Qui" means "who" ( a subject).

"Que" means "what" (an object).

"Qui est-ce que" means "whom" (an object).

"Qu'est-ce qui" means "what" (a subject).

Even if I have it right (and I'm not at all sure about that), it's totally confusing.  If "qui" means "who," why is it in a phrase that means "what"?

Thanks for any clarification!

According to the notes, Jacques a descendu ... could mean he climbed down off the giant. I picked this answer, too, and it was wrong. Why? Thanks for your help. 

So you only use va/vont? And do you conjugate with the person or the object? 

Eg la rose va a ma sœur - is it la rose or ma sœur that is triggering these use of va?

In the same way, how would you say the rose suits us?

I can't seem to differentiate between the cojugate form of etre and avoir when used with the first person Je. Par exemple:
Je suis grand.
versus 
J'ai cinq ans.

They both seem to mean "I am" in the above sentence.

Well the confusing blue handled knife question is still there. I chose the blue handle and was marked incorrect.............and I don’t think that I am incorrect 

Why "déménager dans"?  In general I have been told that "on déménage d'une maison et emménage dans une autre"

Is s'en aller used in the negative form?  If so, what is the construction?
