Hi there, I was wondering if you could explain the present tense in the following sentence:

Mais c'était avant qu'ils ne reçoivent plus de 15 millions de paquets de la part des 26.000 buralistes de France...

Why is "reçoivent" in present (subjunctive)?

Thanks!

do you only use rendre when talking about visiting a person?

1. Tu vas à London.

2. Tu réponds aux questions.

3. Nous allons à London.

4. Tu as de la patience.

5. Vous allez a l'école en bus.

6. Tu écoutes de la musique.

What is the meaning of enchaînait as it applies in this particular sentence?:

Il enchaînait les conquêtes amoureuses en évitant à tout prix de s'engager.

It doesn't seem to fit the dictionary meaning.

Why was qui est-ce qui not correct? Qui was the correct answer. I thought the two were interchangeable and both correct?

Thanks
