Is this correct?

For this example:

Je ne comprends pas le temps que ça lui prend de se préparer !I don't understand the time she takes to get ready!
Isn't the subjunctive of prendre supposed to be prenne?

Position of interrogative particles in sentences like these

Regarding the position of interrogative particles, such as 'quand' in:

"Quand Juliette et Pauline ont-elles déménagé ?"

I can't recall exactly which previous lesson(s) touched upon this, but can one shift 'quand' to other positions, such as:

"Juliette et Pauline, quand ont-elles déménagé?"

"Juliette et Pauline ont-elles déménagé quand?"

Query abour direct object

For the last phrase, que je vous ai préparée, why is the "e" added to préparée. Shouldn't it be an "s" because vous is the direct object.

Hi,

I was wondering if there was a section for beginners for the placement of adverbs like we have for adjectives?

present, or futur simple ?

Does the use of this phrase (When something has happened, something else will) automatically make the "something else" far enough in the future to use futur simple rather than present tense ? Certainly some of the examples here would likely be fairly soon in the future, but they all use futur simple !
