le numero de trapeze:  qu'est ce que ca veut dire? 

Le trapeze volant est un genre du cirque,mais je ne connais pas le mot le numero de trapeze.

Thanks for trying to help Chris but I'm afraid it still doesn't clarify it.  You said that it was asking for the present subjunctive in your 1st answer but in your second answer you say "The PAST subjunctive is used here to express that between" actions " 1) and 2) there is no temporal overlap. "

Perhaps if I ask it a different way 

The English version is  "Before I started to learn french". 'Started" is in the past tense, therefore shouldn't I translate it into the past subjunctive ie  "avant que je n'aie commencé à apprendre le Français"

Thanks

If, as mentioned, most people use the subjonctif after "après que", wouldn't it be odd to a francophone to hear the passé composé?

Après que je SUIS allé????

Even school teachers would say " Après que je SOIS allé"

Hi,

In the example of “Toutes les fins de semaine, nous allons nager.”, was toutes les agreeing with fins de semaine (feminine phrase), or with nous (a group of female swimmers)?

Thank you for clarifying!
