In the two optional answers below, why hasn't 'beaucoup' been given as an option to 'nombreuses'?
Thank You

Instead of 'elle n'a pas remarqué quand le train s'est arrêté', would a French person ever say 'elle ne l'a pas remarqué quand le train s'est arrêté'?
I have put a few difficult lessons in my notebook, but I've rarely tested them. I now see that as a premium member I can have multiple notebooks, but I'm not sure of the benefit. So I'd like to know from users: how do you make use of notebooks in your studies? Do you find it useful to use multiple notebooks? If so, how do you divide your notebooks?
Est-ce que créer un verbe transitif? (to create something)
Pourquoi y a-t-il un "de" apres "créer" dans la phrase?
I love the use of the colors ! You might consider using them in all the examples as well. Finally, for even greater clarity - select a color for the subject of the verb (that which is doing the "bringing to mind"). Again, the colors are so powerful. Thank you for all the great lessons.
Salut! Récemment j'ai commençe à étudier le subjontif. J'ai remarquè qu'il y a deux formes pour le subjontif imparfait: avais et eusse (pour avoir) et étais et fusse (pour être). Si je conjuge ceux-ci en le conjugateur (https://conjugator.reverso.net/conjugation-french-verb-etre.html) je peux voir qu'on utilise fusse, mais si je cherche une simple phrase en Google Traducteur (ou sur des autres traducteurs) comme "If I were you, ..." ils utilisent toujours l'imparfait indicatif ("Si j'étais toi, ...", dans le dernier exemple). Quel est la bonne forme? Merci.
I wrote "quand il a fait noir enfin" before reading the hint "quand la nuit est enfin tombée" but both seem to translate similarly. Can you explain please?
This is not a question about the subjunctive mood, but the sentence was an exercise of it, so I ask my question here.
What is the role of "en" in the following sentence: "Bien que je veuille me reposer, je n'EN ai pas le temps !" Does it mean "I don't have the time for it."? Could you also just write "Bien que je veuille me reposer, je n'ai pas le temps !" without the "en"?
It is a negative sentence, not affirmative, nor a question, so would "personne" be the correct translation? If so, how would you translate the sentence to convey the meaning of "not just anyone meets her standards"? Is there an idiosyncratic French expression for this?
Cheers,
Alec
I used the verb s'éveiller for "wake up", but it was not given as one of the alternatives. I thought "se lever" meant "to get up (out of bed)", rather than specifically to wake up. Can you clarify?
