Bonjour! Pourquoi cette phrase elle ne s'utilise pas le subjonctif?:

Avant même que nous n'entrions dans le village pittoresque,...

AVEC DE (du, des) vs aux Is there a rule for this?

Salade DE

Saumon AVEC DU , DES

Poulet AVEC DES

Pâtes AUX Gâteau au...AVEC glace

aux pommes AVEC crème

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?

brrrrrrrrrrrrrr

Bonjour - what purpose does the “le” in this exercise sentence have?

 Nous paraissons plus jeunes que nous le sommes.

Is the phrasing « but here it doesn’t mean no / any’ » not confusing in the last portion of the lesson, since the entry in this latter part addresses un/une where they earlier indicate de etc being the indicator of no / any….  The « but » should be removed, no?

I am not clear why recommandé has an "s" on the end.  As I understand it the "vous" refers to the lady salesperson or her shop (singular) and the nous, although plural, is an indirect object so the participle does not need to agree with that.
