We know that “on” has been explained to mean “one” (in general terms) just like in English, in which case in the sentence above it would mean “no one is allowed to park here, generally”. So I am confused by the fact that, the answer to the multiple choice questions did not include the above option as a valid answer :(

Hi, I have just finished a B2 writing challenge where

'Had you ever had news of Tatania' was translated as

- Et ça t'arrive d'avoir des nouvelles de Tatiana ? 

I cannot understand the sentence structure, and I cannot find an explanation of 'arriver de' on the site.  Can you point me to the relevant grammar.

Thanks

When is the past subjunctive used in the 'by the time...", if ever.

Question:  why does this mean "we fear that he would change his mind" ? Is it the ne-que=only? that he changes his mind? 

This was on my Kwizig test and I just don't see anything that indicates "would."

merci,

This explanation doesn't explain why sometimes one says 'L'hiver' and at other times, 'En hiver', and similar for other seasons.  The examples given do not enlighten me much.  I have always had trouble with this.  At first I thought, oh, you use 'l'hiver' when you are going to say something describing a feature of 'hiver', and 'En hiver' when you want to say something happened during 'hiver', but then the other examples given in context of other seasons etc mostly described activities occurring during the season regardless of the 'en' or 'l'' beginning.

I need it stated explicitly what the rule is, there doesn't appear to be one.
