Génial! À propos, on dirait ‘le côté clair de la forcé’ pour the light side of the forcé, or ‘le côté lumineux’? Aussi, comment dit-on ‘mat the forcé be with you’; ‘à toi soit la Force’?

Cases of Indirect Speech where 'whether = If' and not, 'regardless of whether'

I am a little unclear as to what the definition of Indirect Speech is especially as it applies to the examples given in the lesson and in the use of verbs such as, 'se demander' and 'savoir'.

How is this Indirect Speech:

Je me demande si tu viens ou pas. ?

What I do understand is that in cases where 'whether = if', then 'si + Mode Indicatif' is applied.

The way I usually work it out in my mind is if the sentence is expressing the idea of 'regardless of which' or 'whether or not' than 'Que + Le Subjunctif' is used.

A question about negating the first verb of double verbs in a French sentence.

Duolingo gives a sentence:

"You will have to not make a lot of errors during the exams."

The sentence is awkward and the given answer is:

"Il ne faudra pas faire beaucoup d'erreurs pendant les examens"

but It also accepts:

"Il faudra ne pas faire beaucoup d'erreurs pendant les examens"

as you suggest it should be above. Are both forms acceptable when negating the first of double verbs, is this a unique situation, or is there another explanation?

“j’ai encore retardé mes achats”

I was expecting to see “j’ai encore retardée mes achats” because the speaker is female. Does the exercise use “retardé” because the object of this part of the sentence is “achats” (a masculine noun), and not the female speaker?
