I used the verb s'éveiller for "wake up", but it was not given as one of the alternatives. I thought "se lever" meant "to get up (out of bed)", rather than specifically to wake up. Can you clarify?

"Anyone" in Negation

So, as the rule in this lesson states that in Negation we use Ne...Personne instead of N'importe qui for saying 'anyone' ...so, should it be? -

- Elle ne fait personne confiance. [She does not trust anyone.] Because the negation surrounds the main conjugated verb?

Whether to include the definite article "le" when asking for someone's preferenceIn French, what is the difference between "Tu préfères le café ?" and "Tu préfères café ?" when asking for someone's preference for coffee?

Is the distinction the same as in English, where "the coffee" is specific to a particular coffee in the current context? And "coffee" without the article is talking about coffee in general?

More on concordance of tenses

Re Daniel E’s post and responses below

I’m finding the use of the subjunctive past for future actions unexpectedly tricky, I think because the English "I need to leave by nine" or "they need us to arrive", already includes the idea of a completed future action (you can’t leave without having left or arrive without having arrived!)

Is the subjunctive present ever an option in this type of sentence or is the subjunctive past mandated?
