If a bag (sac) is described as heavy wouldn't it be lourd not lourde as sac is masculine?

Is there any logic to the gender of body parts or is it just random to be memorized?

In the quiz I got 'Elle trouve ________ beau'. I answered: que t'es. However, this was counted wrong and instead it should be que tu es. Would my contraction be incorrect?

This lesson is a bit confusing to me.  The grammar rule is stated very clearly but then the examples are confusing.  Just a suggestion but I think to make this lesson less confusing perhaps there could be more explanation of the examples.  Also reading the English translation makes it seem like the what is the subject but then the french translation seems like the what is the complement of the verb.  Then, the example that confused me the most in this lesson was one of the quiz questions.

Bonjour Madame Cécile !

While attempting this exercise on Le Subjonctif Présent, I had queries in the following sentence->

1. J'étais comme votre fils, jusqu'à ce qu'un jour, j'aille dans la bibliothèque de mon quartier,et que je me mette à dévorer les romans “Donjons & Dragons.

In this sentence, Madame, why is the Subjonctif used in the second blank ? Can’t it be “je me mets” ?

2. Oui, et j'ai peur que cela ne lui fasse un peu peur. 

Here, Madame, why does Mme. Aurélie use “cela”  instead of “il” when referring to a Harry Potter novel ?

Merci encore Madame ! 

Prenez soin de vous et restez en sécurité.

Bonne journée!

I know that in direct pronouns are me, te, lui ... and they are used when the noun comes after a preposition but why is it m'aide and not l'aide?

Bonjour Madame !

Thank you for your support and Yes, I will surely co-operate with your French team with my queries in future and provide you sufficient time to answer my problems.

The example “ Vive le temps, vive le temps, vive le temps d’hiver doesn’t relate to en, l’ , au as being taught in the lesson. It might be a special, specific case. Thank you for your feedback.

Merci bien et bonne journée !

your example above looks wrong... Martin n’est pas arrivé depuis longtemps should mean Martin hasn’t been here in a long time.  the past tense implies the action is completed. right???
