Thsee are what I think are correct:

Je veux le café = I want the coffee

Je veux le café = I want coffee

Je veux du café = I want some coffee

Ils veulent des cafés = They want coffees

Ils veulent du café = They want some coffee

ILS veulent le café = They want coffee

Ils veulent de café = They want a coffee.

I think these are all correct grammar, depending on the situation.

Please correct me if I'm wrong.

You explain that following au cas où, you would be tempted to use the subjunctive, but must use the conditional, but you do not say why?

As they basically mean the same thing in this context.

Why must I have a circumflex on the i for quoi?

Hello,

How does one know how to conjugate pronouncements like "Vive les fiancés"? My first instinct is that vivre should use the third person plural of le subjonctif here, because les fiancés is third person plural. However, is it "vive" instead of "vivent" because it is a fixed expression? Any more examples or fiches pédagogiques would be helpful, thanks!
