Elle trouve que Sam EST belle.
versus
Elle trouve Sam ennuyeuse.
Does it work as a guide/rule that:
The presence of a conjugated verb after "trouve que" suggest both that
1) "trouve que" is being used in the sense of "think/find that...(clause)," and also
2) that "que" is necessary in the formation of such a sentence?
For comparison: "Elle trouve Sam est belle" would be grammatically incorrect.

Still, confirmation of that fact would be welcome.

Hi, why is “la plus grande partie” feminine? It seems to be “attached to” the male “siècle” more than to the female “devise”.
