“N’oublie pas de remuer”

Just fyi, the translation of “N’oublie pas de remuer” reads “N’oublie pas de remuer” instead of “Don’t forget to stir”.

Alternative translation?

Would the following also be a correct translation?

J’ai dû me résigner à appeler un taxi

as an alternative to: -

il a fallu que je me résigne à appeler un taxi

Does "Je sors à Londres" imply that the destination is London?

If not, then why does "Je sors au restaurant" imply that the destination is the restaurant? Since both sentences have the same structure "sortir à"

"Je fumais depuis des années quand j'ai décidé d'arrêter"

I don't understand why "depuis" is used here despite the fact that we use "depuis" for ongoing actions as stated in the lesson below.

Using the present tense (Le Présent) - and not the compound past (Le Passé Composé) - in sentences with "depuis" (since/for) in French (French Prepositions of Time)

“lorsqu’on lui rendre visite” vs. “lorsque l’on lui rendre visite”

Hi, there are two options given: “lorsqu’on lui rendre visite” & “lorsque l’on lui rendre visite”. Is the extra “l” in the second one just to avoid the “qu’on” sound, or is it a pronoun with some grammatical meaning?

Should there be a subjunctive after j'ai pensé que...?

Apologies if this is the wrong topic, but does pense que express uncertainty such that it would be followed by a subjunctive?

Thanks!

Why isn't revêtir an option

I wrote "et je revêtirai les vêtements confortables" and it corrected it to "et je mettrai les vêtements confortables". Why can't I use the verb revêtir here? It's the word I always knew for "to put on [clothes]" and according to my dictionary that's exactly what it means.
