Please, could someone clarify the rule regarding the following:
Shouldn't "If you could" be translated with the conditional "vous pourriez"? The grammar lesson following this phrase recommends the conditional not the imparfait.
Thanks!

So in this lesson, I was studying this sentence: “Pour calmer mes enfants, je leur lis une histoire.” I also remembered that lui/leur is only used when a verb goes with “à”, like “Je téléphone à mon frère” —> “Je lui téléphone.” So is this grammatically correct? “Pour calmer mes enfants, je leur lis une histoire.” —> “Je lis une histoire à mes enfants pour leur calmer.”
Why is "bien" used in this sentence to say "we did say 7"?
Ça capte mal chez nous - How does this mean "bad reception"? why can't we use "réception"?
Can we say nous étions censés .... instead of nous devions arriver....?
Hi, in
“Depuis mon plus jeune âge, qu'on soit à la maison ou chez des amis”
what triggered the subjunctive (i.e. “soit”). Was it the “depuis … que” structure?
Je n'aurais pensé que l'aurais si facilement. Should je n'aurais pensé trigger the subjunctive?
