Grammar Queries (based on concepts)Bonjour Madame Cécile !
I am facing a few problems and am unable to understand the reasons behind them.
1. "He realizes you're cheating." -> Il réalise que vous êtes en train de tricher.
In this sentence, why one doesn’t use Le Subjonctif as the expression is followed by “que”?
2. I knocked at the door, but you were sleeping."
The correct answer was-> J'ai frappé à la porte, mais tu étais en train de dormir.
Though, I mentioned “ J'ai frappé à la porte, mais tu dormais. (L’Imparfait)
As I was sleeping in progression when someone knocked.
3. Ils ________ écouter.(They should listen.)
Why the accurate answer is -> devraient (Le Conditionnel Présent) and not ‘doivent’ ?
Merci Madame de m’aider encore.
Je vous souhaite une bonne journée !

I used touchant in the above translation rather than the given "emue." I was wondering if there was a semantic or connatative difference between the two or are they interchangeable.
After reading the lesson several times and reading the many q&a in the forum, I think I may finally understand the difference. Can you please tell me if I am correct? Attendre que + subjunctive clause is to wait for someone or something else to do something; however, s'attendre à ce que + subjunctive clause is different because the focus is on the personal opinion of the person doing the expecting. There is no opinion involved when using attendre que.
I have already pointed out that it has turned out to be impossible to introduce a cedilla in our responses, either using the directions on your page or keyboard commands that usually works for MS Word. So, I will always be faulted for this apparent mistake even though I have done my best to avoid it.
I'm confused because on many other sites I see both these used as conditionnel. E.g., J'avais pu = I had been able to/could have
Si tu avais pu, tu aurais fait = If you could have, you would have.
Please explain.
Bonjour Madame Cécile !
While attempting a kwiz ,I was provided with the following sentence ->
Les enfants ont rangé les cadeaux _________ sapin de Noël .
The answer marked correct was -> au pied du (at the foot of)
However, I would like to ask whether the options - “au dessous du / autour du” are correct ?
Just wanted to convey a small request-
Whenever, you feel free and comfortable, kindly help me ( as you always have done) with my queries which I posted lately as follow-ups .
Merci encore !
Je vous souhaite une bonne journée !
