Bonjour! Est-ce que quelqu'un pourrait m'expliquer pourquoi l'exercise dit "payer pour qqch" au lieu de payer qqch? Est-ce que payer devrait etre transitif dans ce cas? (Desole pour ne pas avoir mis les accents!) Merci en avance!

I don't understand when to use these two "en" and "le/la". For example:

La liberté d'expression est un droit fondamental mais il faut ________ respecter les limites.

I know that "en" refers to La liberté d'expression, but why can't we use "la"?

Hi, I wonder about passer par qqn, there are examples as follows:

Yann passera par chez Laura après le travail.

Ma tante est passée par la boulangerie en venant ici

But what about: Yann passera chez Laura ... & Ma tante est passée à la boulangerie.(I've just omitted par). 

Isn't the meaning the same here ? Thank you.

Would it be possible to adapt this lesson for those living in Québec?  Here, they would use the phrase "faire son épicerie"?

I got this question:

How would you say "You went out even though I wasn't OK with it." ?

And I answered with this:

Tu es sortie bien que je n'étais pas d'accord.

Apparently the right answer was Tu es sortie bien que je ne suis pas d'accord, but I don't understand why je ne suis pas d'accord is in the present tense.

To me that sentence means "You went out even though I'm not OK with it.", as in "I'm not ok with in general", but the way the English sentence is written in the question means that the speaker wasn't ok about a particular going-out. Why would one use the present tense there even though the "not being ok with it" was done in the past?
