Notre + verb conjugation

For the sentence "je joue au beach volley avec Lydia et notre équipe gagne", why is "gagner" take the form of "gagne" instead of "gagnons"? I would think since it is "our team winning" it would be "notre équipe gagnons", but I think I am missing something here!

For me:- Too fast. Can pause but not go back. Better if story scrolled while audio control remained static. Great concept. :-)

s'en occuperIl s'en occupe tout de suite. Why is "He takes care of them right away." correct but "He takes care of him right away" is wrong. What in that sentence says "them" but not "him"?"

Is “ne pas” ever around the subjunctive?

I’ve seen things like:

Je veux qu’elle vienne

Je ne veux pas qu’elle vienne

But I haven’t (yet) seen:

Je veux qu’elle ne vienne pas

Does this occur in French? Can the “ne pas” wrap around the subjunctive verb?

"Est-ce que l'on peut ..."

One possible translation heer is given as "Est-ce que l'on peut aller prendre un café? "

Is the "le" at all related to the café as direct object? Could you explain/provide examples of other uses of "l'on" in such contexts? Merci en avance!

Not relevant to this lesson but I listened to the audio and the final s on “le plus” was pronounced. Is there a rule or lesson on this?
