how do you say to layer the hair?
The problem I had with the question is that it did not indicate that TIME OF DAY was the topic. Strictly, this could be a question about a house or office number cruise liner cabin number or the answer to a mathematical question. I chose NOT to take the topic as being about the time of day because the question was too general to know what was the topic.

Je suis désolé but I cannot make a complete sense out of the following sentence: que vous humecterez de vos lèvres avant de lui essuyer les joues. You make le mouchoir wet with your lips before wiping your cheeks? So, what’s she doing ?

I noticed in all these examples the subjects are not the same in the main clause and in the sans que clause.
What if for examples 1 and 3 of this lesson, I say "He came without telling you." "We decorated everything without bothering you."
Would this phrasing affect how they would be written in French?
Or would I still indicate the subject in both clauses even though the subjects are the same, like such? "Il est venu sans qu'il te dise." "On a tout décoré sans qu'on vous dérange."
Wow this was really helpful, I played it over and over and can see marked improvement in listening comprehension.
I think this lesson, and any question relating to it, should be removed until a clear lesson is written.
