Tu veux venir à la piscine ? Oui, je le veux.

Oui, je la piscine.
Why are there versions with que and some without
, sorry my keyboard keeps disappearing
Good day! My question is for this example: "On ne doit pas parler la bouche pleine." (People mustn't speak with their mouths full.).
Why is there no "avec"? Is this because it isn't meant to be transliteral?
Why is "il est vert" unacceptable for a translation of "It is green."?
Le chiffre de 0,274 % n'est pas correct ! La probabilité d'être né un jour donné au cours d'une année normale est de 1/365 = 0,273 %. Or, le 29 février ne se produit que tous les quatre ans. Le calcul correct est donc 1/(365 + 365 + 365 + 366) = 0,068 %.
In this exercise, "rr" of Pourriez-vous sounds silent but in the lesson (Conjugate pouvoir in the conditional present in French = could (Le Conditionnel Présent)), for the same Pourriez-vous, I can make out clearly she's enunciating it. Is it just that I can't hear the "rr" in this exercise as clearly as the other one?
Elle trouve que Sam EST belle.
versus
Elle trouve Sam ennuyeuse.
Does it work as a guide/rule that:
The presence of a conjugated verb after "trouve que" suggest both that
1) "trouve que" is being used in the sense of "think/find that...(clause)," and also
2) that "que" is necessary in the formation of such a sentence?
For comparison: "Elle trouve Sam est belle" would be grammatically incorrect.
What does "coup de venir" exactly mean?
Sometimes Vouloir (to want) is conjugated as veux at the present tense, but sometimes it is conjugated as veux for the pronoun je. Does this have to do with formality?
On the resume can I use masculine instead of feminine
or is there an acceptable gender neutral?
