Why not "en Afrique" rather than "pour l'Afrique"?

Hi why is subjonctif after "quelque chose que vous puissiez poser contre l'arbre". Is there any rule for that ?

Similarly, descendre d'un escalator or descendre un escalator?

Can we say go up/go down 1 floor in French:

Monter/descendre un étage  

Thank you.

Hello.. having problems getting  the pronunciation of this phrase.. hearing it as sache and not getting the "iez" of the subjunctive 

Why is étrange before the noun here? In the other example answers, it comes after.

This exercise uses que in two places I don't understand.  First, ¨Alors que je traversais un coin...¨  Second ¨J'ai attendu que la depanneuse arrive.¨  I think "alors que" means while.  It seems the second usage should be "jusqu'á."  I have never seen que used that way. 

Hello,

Can someone please tell me what 'Qu'est-ce que vous avez de bon aujourd'hui?' actually means?

I have known French for years but I am not familiar with this term.

Please can someone help?

Thank you

Is there an alternative payment to having monthly deductions from credit card?

One of the answers given I think was written with "que l'on" rather than "qu'on", i.e.
si vous ne voulez pas que l'on parte plus tôt.

Are both correct. If so can you please explain the use of l' . I don't understand why we would use l' here.
