In one quiz, a sentence reads J'étais comme votre fils, jusqu'à ce qu'un jour, j'aille dans la bibliothèque de mon quartier,et que je me mette à dévorer les romans “Donjons & Dragons”. I filled the blanks correctly because the tips said to use the subjunctive, but I don't understand why the subjunctive is used here. "I was like your son until one day I went to the library ...", something that definitely happened in the past, so I would have written "je suis allé dans la bibliothèque ... et je me suis mis à dévorer ..." I'm also surprised by the second "que" before "je me mette". Can you give me some insight?

Jolie sac et robe bleue

Can't find a unifying rule for both these. Shouldn't it. Either:

Jolie sac & bleu robe

Or:

Sac Jolie & robe bleue

Correction in lesson text

"Note that, like for dates in general..." is incorrect English. It should be "Note that, as for dates in general..." or "Note that, like dates in general..."

What is.../What's that?

Is it incorrect to use "Est-ce quoi la Sorbonne?". It was marked incorrect on a quiz. Is that because I can't invert c'est in this case?

"la série des Martine"

Why is it "des" here, when there is (presumably) only one Martine?
