hi.  is there a subtle difference between the words 'pétantes' and 'pile'?  Should you use one in certain circumstances?

For example, I am wondering why the phrase je me fais faire de nouvelles sandales (I am having new sandals made) requires the "me" - would the meaning be changed if it was omitted?

Anyone else practicing by singing Charlie Boisseau’s »Pourquoi Tu T’en Vas »?

Hello! 

Throughout the writing activity where I described the boys neighborhood, I continued to use "Tu" instead of "On" when it asked me to type "When you want to go out, you have a lot of choices!" 

The correct answer according to the computer was "Quand on veut sortir, on a beaucoup de choix !" 

Can someone explain why On is used instead of Tu?

Thanks!

what if months are repeated, for example: The golfcours is open every year from Juin to September?

Bonjour. S'il vous plaît  expliquez pourquoi utilise-t-on le mot grosses tomates au lieu de grandes tomates. Merci. Bonne journée. 

Bonjour Madame Cécile !

I am facing a few problems and am unable to understand the reasons behind them.

1. "He realizes you're cheating." -> Il réalise que vous êtes en train de tricher. 

In this sentence, why one doesn’t use Le Subjonctif as the expression is followed by “que”?

2. I knocked at the door, but you were sleeping." 

The correct answer was-> J'ai frappé à la porte, mais tu étais en train de dormir.

Though, I mentioned “ J'ai frappé à la porte, mais tu dormais. (L’Imparfait) 

As I was sleeping in progression when someone knocked.

3. Ils ________ écouter.(They should listen.)

Why the accurate answer is -> devraient (Le Conditionnel Présent) and not ‘doivent’ ?

Merci Madame de m’aider encore. 

Je vous souhaite une bonne journée !
