Re:
Le temps des deux parties m'a confuse dans cette phrase.
Il y a un exemple ou on utiliserait le subjonctif passe comme ca:

I searched quinze heures et quart on Google Search, and found that it is acceptable, however my answer was reported wrong. Please let me know if I have done something wrong, and I appreciate your efforts? Thank you.
'Certain adverbs of time and manner can both be AT THE END or AT THE START of the sentence' - no, they can be used 'either at the end or at the start'. You are confusing 'both/and' with 'either/or'.
After trying this exercise several times in the past few weeks, I'm still trying to figure out

Pouquoi ne pas utiliser " Savez que vous êtes loin d'etre le seul au lieu de "Sachez que vous êtes loin d'être le seul"? L'utilisation du subjonctif est-elle nécessaire ?
