Indicative vs subjonctif

Hi,

Sorry I have another question. When working on knowing the difference between the verbs in the indicative or Subjonctif what is the easiest way?

I thought this sentence was Subjonctif but it is indicatif.

Il dit que leur page d'accueil (être) ____ attrayante. They used est not soit

Thanks

Nicole

Have finished vs didn't finish

The question and answer: J'ai fini. - Write "I didn't finish." : Je n'ai pas fini
makes me wonder... In English 'I have not finished' implies you are still working on it, whereas 'I did not finish' implies that you are not still working on it (e.g. you ran out of time in an exam). It looks as if the passé composé could mean either of these. Right? If so, what is the easiest way to make this distinction in French?

Ways of saying it was cold last night

What is the difference between

Il fait froid hier soir And

Il faisait froid hier soir

The translation is identical and the lesson doesn’t clarify it.

un garçon vilainApparently vilain comes before the noun, but doesn't that adjective put the boy into a distinct category? and thus shouldn't it come after the noun? On the other hand lots of adjectives that come before the noun seem to me to put them into categories too. Such as genteel....How to see the difference?
