I am not sure why the subjunctive is used here.  I understand that trouver takes indicative in the affirmative, but subjunctive if negative.  Here it is affirmative, so presumably the word étrange is causing the change in tense.  Perhaps because étrange has a negative connotation, or perhaps simply because it is an adjective, as in être étrange que ..

How would you say « whom do you miss »?

In what part of this sentence could you add "nearly", and what is the word for this? If I said, "My parents have been married for 20 years", or "Mes parents sont mariés il y a vingt ans", how would I say "My parents have been married for nearly 20 years" ? Does this require a different expression entirely? For context, I would be explaining that their wedding anniversary is next month.

Shouldn’t the verb here be connaître ?

In this statement, the correct answer is to use c'est instead of il/elle. Why is that?

"ce sont des filles"

I find myself wanting to ask this based on the same question as Joseph K below - where you're given "Anne is having fun at the circus" and "Anne is amusing herself at the circus." as potential multiple choice answers, with only the former being marked correct.

If "Anne s'amuse au cirque" can't mean "Anne is amusing herself at the circus", how would you say that?
