The place of subject pronouns

Why is 'Daphné apprend-elle le français' correct while 'Daphné apprend-t-elle le français' is marked wrong. All the examples in the lesson add 't' when the verb does'nt elide.

Le bicross

I have never saw the use of bicross before, but always VTT (vélo tout terrain). Is this a difference between written and spoken language or is it used along eachother?

Thanks in advance

étonnant et à cause de

I have been taught that à cause de is used negatively. The positive usage is grace à. Whats your opinion?

Again, étonnant is also used negatively or so i have been told. Maybe you wanted use it as such here.

I wish to be able to bring out selected lessons

As a paying customer of Kwiziq, I wish to be able to have a physical print out of the lessons I want to review. It's easier for me to read than from the computer screen.....

Present vs. Past subjunctiveElles ne sont pas allées à la soirée ________ là.They didn't go to the party for fear that you would be there.(HINT: Use 'tu'.)
The correct answer is "de crainte que tu ne sois."Why do we use the present subjunctive instead of theimparfait subjunctive or past subjunctive?
"They didn't go to the party for fear that you would be there."In English, I typically hear "out of fear" vs. "for fear."
Why do we pair le passé composé with the present subjunctive?The past action or inaction was in the past and the fear (of you) wasin the past. I submitted "fusses," but that was incorrect. I assumethat "aies été" was incorrect as well.
Is there a time period where you typically use imparfait (more thana day? or a week?) vs. passé composé with être?

When to use 'que' with il faut?

Just wondering when to use il faut que + subjunctive verb as opposed to the former lesson where il faut was used without que + subjunctive verb? It seems to translate roughly the same?

I remind you of your nanny/I remind your nanny of you

If I remind you of your nanny is 'Je vous rappelle votre nounou.' What is 'I remind your nanny of you'? Is it 'Je rappelle vous à votre nounou' but I don't think this is correct!

the vs its (les ves ses)See below. Should 'the canals' be 'les canaux', not 'ses canaux' which you have as the right answer?

Cheers
