Can I also say - Je n'ai pas d'idée. [I don't have any idea.], just like I can say - Je n'ai pas de lait. [I don't have any milk.] or Je n'ai pas de sœur.

If not, why??

Pensez-vous que

One sentence for translation states: Do you think the problem is structural? Of the possible translations: " Pensez-vous que ce soit" and another "Vous pensez que c'est". One is in the subjunctive and the other is in the present. Why use the present in the second?

Ennuyerais vs ennuieras

In the above examplers, it shows both "payeras" and "paieras" as being valid.

So why is "Je m'ennuierai à cette fête" considred correct, while "

Je m'ennuyerai à cette fête" was not?

Is it only "-ayer" verbs that allow the two alternatives?

Can you use gerund to replace infinitives in j'aime/j'adore sentences?

Eg. Can you say J'aime mangeant instead of J'aime manger

Use of the present tense vs future

In the sentence 'I'll call you before leaving' (future) in the quizzes, it seems to be translated in the present tense..' Je t'appelle avant de partir'. Is this a colloquialism ?

Thanks

My Quizzes Aren't Progressing Beyond A0?

I'm at >97% on A0 and yet basically all of the questions are A0-related. Any ideas on how to move onto A1 material?
