Why is the subjunctive used here?

Bonjour,

I was working on the verbs with à and De  and I was looking over my A1 section I was wondering what I need to work on next? Should it be more prepositions by itself or stick with working with more verbs so I don't get confused?

Thanks

Is 'une première' in the second line feminine because it's short for 'une première fois'?

This sentence is from a B1 reading exercise about French cooking. Here, propre is translated as " specific". So, is this an alternative meaning to 'clean'?

In this text, why does she say 'J'ai vécu', but then say 'Je faisais partie' et 'J'organisais'.... 

I am wondering why the different tenses here, as surely 'living' was an on-going occurrence ?

I am 68 years old and a habitually bad speller on computers. Does Kwizik actually believe that constantly repeating a particular question is somehow going to improve my spelling on computers

Je ne comprends pas deux choses - 1)une bonne grippe carabinée  2) une fièvre de cheval par-dessus le marché. Vous me les expliqueriez? J'aime beaucoup toutes les dictées, surtout celles où je peux trouver des expressions ou du vocabulaire utiles.   Merci beaucoup.

In the end-of-lesson full text to read and listen to the first sentence of the text reads "J'adore habiter au..." but the audio says "J'aime habiter dans la...".

In the above sentence, why is the correct answer "moins d'énergie que" and not "moins d'énergie que de"?  I added the "de" based on this rule: "When expressing there are more/fewer/as many-much [thing/s] than/as [other thing/s], you need to add de after que".  

Can we please have some examples of statements turning into questions in these cases? I am finding it hard to follow how the order of words changes in each situation. Many thanks!
