Changing "des, du, de la, de l', des" to "de" in negative sentences

Why is it "Je n'ai pas peur des examens" and NOT "Je n'ai pas peur d'examens". Thank you.

Plus Jamais et Jamais Plus

I thought "plus jamais" et "jamais plus" were both acceptable.

How do you say this in French, please?: "she could have had"could; should; would ! .. these compound constructions are a little difficult. What are the rules, if any, please?

"Ce n'est pas un problème" ?

In one of the test the question is:

"Désolé, j'ai oublié mon argent. - Oh, ________." Sorry, I forgot my money. -Oh, it's not a problem.

The correct answer given was «Ça ne fait rien.»

Why couldn't i say "Ce n'est pas un problème" ?

Kwik Kwiz Question 1Hello, why is it that in all the examples in this lesson 'chaque' means 'each' but the options of answers to this question (Chaque mardi, je vais à la bibliothèque) do not have that as an option (I thought the meaning was 'Each Tuesday, I go to the library')? I am confused. regards Catherine

Comment ça se fait qu'il faille se subjonctif avec cette construction?(Sorry, couldn't resit.) Into which category does this example fall. It is obviously not a conjunction that triggers the subjonctif here and I also don't see any of the verbs that normally ask for subjonctif - or anything else I've encountered so far with respect to the subjonctif.
