le vin is masculine so we should use du vin instead of de i need clarity on this please

In this text the question used “te plait…” and the answer was “j’aime…” Why? What is the general rule? Thanks!

Why does the text switch from using 'nous' and 'on'  as in 'ce qui nous ferait une nuit de plus à la belle étoile/on fera les courses'

In the alternative translations, where nous is used, on was not an option. How do you know when to use nous and when to use on?

I put douée - is there any reason why talentueuse was the preferred translation of 'talented'? 

My French-trained boss says ebouillon means boiling. How does that differ from bouillant or are they equivalent?

The only thing I see is there is what about there are

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!

Ben
