A curve \(C\) has parametric equations \(x = t^2 + t\), \(y = t^2 - t\), \(t \in \mathbb{R}\).

Sketch the graph of \(C\), indicating the coordinates of the points where the curve crosses either axis.

Find the coordinates of the point on \(C\) where the tangent to \(C\) is parallel to the line \(5y = 4x - 20\).

Find the equation of the tangent to \(C\) at the point \((0, 2)\) and show algebraically that this tangent does not cut \(C\) again.
