Est-il correct de mettre une espace avant un point d'exclamation? J'ai été surprise par cela !

I've seen "un tamia" but my Quebec family isn't familiar with the term. They know "suisse", but don't know if it's "un" or "une"

For an exercise, I wrote : avant que vous soyez fatigué

But it got marked as incorrect, the correct answer shown has a 'ne'.

I asked some french learners + Gemini AI and they all said that this isn’t required even in written French.

Could someone help me clarify this?

Why in the sentence "Claire habite à Paris." is the mute h clearly pronounced?

Becherelle (2006) says to conjugate gémir as you would finir, interestingly, nothing looks like geignait there ... I assume I haven't got to the lesson that explains this. 

"j'ai acheté un sac à dos qui est très à la mode en ce moment, et j'ai pris un nouveau stylo-plume et beaucoup de cartouches d'encre." 

Why isn't neuf used here? Nobody, generally, buys a used object when going back to school.

Olivier t'a demandée en mariage !     Why is there an extra e in demander? the verb is Demander à quelqu'un. t' is COI not COD

Hello,

I am just wondering why the "ne" is included in the above mentioned phrase "Je crains que vous ne conduisiez trop vite" whish is translated to "I am worried you are driving too fast"? I thought ne was meant to denote a negative, implying something more like "I am worried you are not driving too fast"? 

What am I missing?

Thank you!

Eight years ago Meike asked about this and there was no good answer.  I’m confused about the same thing.  The lesson doesn’t discuss using ou when the clause contains the future tense.
