Hello, If I take a subscription, which I would use at the later beginner/early intermediate level, could my husband use a Beginner strand of the program on the same subscription? Or must we each buy a subscription? Does anyone have experience with this?

Is there any difference in meaning between the use of faire and etre contextually? Or, are they freely interchangeable? 

I guess my main concern is, is there an example of a time when faire would be chosen over etre and vice versa?  

I don’t get the nuance of ‘J’arrive dans 10 minutes’.  'I arrive in 10 minutes' is the same, to me, as saying ‘I will arrive in 10 minutes.   

Why does the sentence start "à moins que tu vives" and then change to "vous vous voyiez'?  Why isn't it "tu te voies"?

I had written 'Il me faut aller sur le toit', which Kwiziq corrected to 'Il faut que j'aille sur le toit'. I know the construction 'il faut + subjunctive', but could you not use the infinitive when there is the same subject in the main and relative clause? Or does the meaning of the sentence change? Thank you 

I was marked wrong for soyez parti (singular). Couldn't the "vous" refer to a singular person where past participle would be parti without an s?   What am I not seeing here?
