Why does it seem that some functions are not available in my version of Illustrator?

[AntoinetteF]

Hi, I'm starting with Illustrator and I'm following the tutorial video's.
Now I need to use the reshape tool to reshape a line, but it seems that some functions are not active in my version. I simply can't select the 'reshape' tool. It is not shown on the left and I need to unfold the left menu to find the 'reshape tool', but then I can't select it. Nothing is happening. Also I see many other options in dark grey, can't be selected either.
Am I doing something wrong or am I just plain stupid I can't seem to get this working??

Thank you. I'm not an English native and my version is not in English but I found it.
I can't seem to get any tool options in to my own toolbar. Things are just not available.
I have enclosed a screenshot.

Okay I found the cause of the problem:
Apparently you need to select the ADVANCED menu....
My menu was set on 'standard'.
That is not told in the tutorial videos...
