I have seen that the verb « apprendre » can mean both to learn and to teach in French. And I also know that « enseigner » can sometimes mean to teach (but in a narrower sense, and it can never mean to learn). My question is : Can one say in this exercise « je lui ENSEIGNERAI à être indépendante et forte » or is this just a wrong usage of this verb?

Se casser la main

Hi, why is “Se casser la main” “To break one's arm” when main = hand, and bras = arm? Is this an example of a non-literal phrase?

Question: You remind them to make their beds.

This was a multiple choice question. The correct answer was given as "Tu leur rappelles de faire leur lit." Why isn't it "Tu leur rappelles de faire leurs lits." ?

Elle avait fait ses devoirs avant qu’il n’arrive.

I understand that avant que requires the subjunctive. Given that the first part of the sentence is in the pluperfect, why is the present subjunctive used rather than past subjunctive? His arrival is in the past, just not as far in the past as the homework.
