In one quiz, a sentence reads 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”. I filled the blanks correctly because the tips said to use the subjunctive, but I don't understand why the subjunctive is used here. "I was like your son until one day I went to the library ...", something that definitely happened in the past, so I would have written "je suis allé dans la bibliothèque ... et je me suis mis à dévorer ..." I'm also surprised by the second "que" before "je me mette". Can you give me some insight?
Is it incorrect to use "Est-ce quoi la Sorbonne?". It was marked incorrect on a quiz. Is that because I can't invert c'est in this case?

How would you say: "It is hot and sunny?"
Il fait chaud et il y a du soleil?
NB I don't understand why in French hot is an adjective and sunny is a noun...
Does this also mean that you still don't drink it now/ in the present??
if it starts with y is it mon or ma
The see examples are written in English, not French, even in the test. It looks like this page needs editing!
Why is "elle doit partir, ce qu'est triste" wrong
