I am confused.. why the “except” if those countries and continents are feminine.. if the except means they are masculine, the (all of them are feminine)” makes no sense!

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.

"Oh Je l'ai regardé aussi hier"

Will you please continue this story?  What happens next day, week, month?

Greetings! Just a comment on the content of the article: Those who are ethically opposed to eating foie gras, if they are consistent in the application of those ethics, will probably also be ethically opposed to killing and eating saumon!  ;-)

Since the beginning of the festivities is a precise and limited event, I thought this would use passe compose "ont commencees." Can someone help me understand why this is imperfait?

And the last sentence: J'ai toujour trouve ca magique," I had thought this would be imparfait since it's ongoing and indefinite.

Is this grammatically correct for "After waking up, I'm grumpy."? 

p.s. this is a one-off event, not a recurring event.
