"I think that I saw their phone number" : As "I" is the subject for both verbs i.e. "think" and "saw", would "Je pense avoir vu leur numéro quelque part" be an acceptable alternative here, or would that just be wrong?
Why is italienne not capitalized in the phrase "de la Renaissance italienne?" Also, why is the article "le" not used in the first mention "de Florence en Italie", but is used in "ses carnets duvoyage sure l'Italie" ? Has "medicine" gone out of usage for the designation of medical doctor and has "docteur" supplanted it? "Docteur" is applicable to non-physicians (e.g., those with PhD's) and is there another designation for them? Thanks.

This is more of a general grammar question, but I don't see how the sentence "She will get a refund." is in the same family of sentences as all the other examples. Why is it not something like "She's having [her purchase] refunded"?
Je ne comprends pas le temps que ca lui prend de se preparer ! Is an example given to illustrate when l'indicatif is used and not le subjonctif. That I understand but I find the the sentence interesting and would like to ask : 1. Could que ca lui be replaced by qu'elle prend ? and 2. Could que ca be replaced by celui que ?
