Correct tense?"Avant qu'ils ne partent s'installer là-bas"

Why is the subjonctif présent of "partir" used in the above sentence when the sentence refers to the past tense? It was written in English as "Before they went to live over there". Why is it not "Avant qu'ils ne soient partis s'installer là-bas" ? Can someone please enlighten me? Thank you.

Partir, sortir, quitter.

Questions on ‘partir, sortir, quitter’ which comprise one, some or all answers are so inconsistent, I find it very irritating. Sometimes when I choose all three (excluding ‘laisser’ of course), only ‘partir’ is the answer deemed acceptable. sometimes, when I select ‘partir’ only, all three are given as correct. More context please.

se rappelle de

In another lesson (sorry I don't know the name of the lesson, since I encounter them randomly), you specifically state that this sentence is not correct:

"Elle me rappelle de Paula." How is that different from "Elle se rappelle de ce garçon", which is given in this lesson as correct? It seems that "de" is not allowed in the first sentence but it is allowed in the second sentence.

Why is "I was immediately fascinated by" translated in the p.c.? To me it is a description of how the person felt, thus I used the plus que parfait.

Can English examples precede the French, please...

Hi there,

Not sure where or how to make this suggestion, but I always try to test myself by looking at the English first and trying to get the French right, but the way your website is set up, it’s almost impossible to do this. Since so many examples are repeated within the body of any given lesson, could you perhaps try changing the order so the English precedes the French at least once for each example? It would help us a lot do more active learning than merely reading the examples out loud. Thanks, phoebe w.

Lui/leur

Hi,

I am a bit confused of what you would change this to. Would you change à sa tanté to lui or leur?

Thanks

Why is ce restaurant plâit à nous wrong? Shouldn't ce restaurant nous plâit and ce restaurant plâit à nous both be correct?
