Why the use of the subjunctive in "un avenir qui nous plaise"?

Le mot "printannière" n'est pas "printanière"?

I thought so too, only to see the correction suggesting that i should have written that he "goes to go to bed"!

I understand now that:

In French there is no “like” as in English. Something doesn’t smell like chocolate, it just “smells chocolate”.

So, you would say: Ça sent le chocolat

But how would you say "Who smells chocolate?" 

Qui sent le chocolat ?

Whereas Qu'est-ce qui sent le chocolat is the longer way of saying "What smells like chocolate" 

Is this correct?

Or would you have to say something like: qui peut sentir le chocolat ?

Can be confusing but I'll keep trying 

E.g. why not say Oui maman, il est sur la plage derrière ? 

Merci!

What do you do in the case of "il faut que" such as "Il faut que j'aille faire les courses."    On second reference, you wouldn't say, "il le faut?"  Could you say "" Il faut que j'y aille" or "Je le dois?"  Or, does this "le" rule not apply to Il faut que?  Scrambled here!:)

I conjugated Elles font and was told that Elles fait is correct. I don't think think that is true. Could you please examine that question and explain the answer to me?

I used “Évidemment” instead of “Bien sûr” for the term “Of course”, and it was not included as any of the accepted terms. Could you please explain the appropriate use of “évidemment”? Several dictionaries translate it as “of course”, but perhaps there is a usage nuance that I do not understand? 

Thank you for your remarkably helpful site!!

Is it 'de' rather than 'des' because 'des' becomes 'de' in a negative sentence ?
