Past participle

Hi,

I was wrong when choosing “ tombée” in “ Marie- France est ( tomber) de son vélo”. I agreeed the gender of subject( in this case, I think it ‘s feminin) as “learn and discuss says. Why? Is it that the subject here falls sthg ,not the subject falls. And past participle has to follow the gender and number of object in this case? Thanks.

Use of subjunctive

Why is so much of this in the subjunctive? I understand why 'il faut que' in the first sentence is followed by the subjunctive. But why is it used in the sentence starting 'nous recherchons'?

using appellerAm I correct in thinking that you can use "Comment tu t'appelles?" or "comment t'appelles tu?" I was taught both of these in school.

Not quite correct that «dont» replaces «possession + de»

«Dont + possession» replaces «possession + de». The 'possession' is named in both expressions, it is just found in a different position. It is placed directly before de or found directly or indirectly after dont.

Confusing lesson

This is, by far, one of the worst written lesson on this site. It's confusing, too long, and the verbiage used to distinguish between the different meanings are not clear. I hate it when I read a lesson and am more confused afterward than before.

Clearly, I am not alone in this opinion!

« Voudrais » vs « aimerais »

Hello, I had to translate « I would like some more love in my life ». My understanding was that voudrais is used when I’m asking for something to be given to me, such as a drink or object, and aimerais is used when I would like something to happen as opposed to being given a physical object. However, this was marked wrong. Is using aimerais in this example very unnatural? Thank you!
