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!

When to use "en" and "le/la"

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"?

Re: food shopping in Canada

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

Mon père et toi vous êtes-vous ennuyés hier soir ?

Why is this not “ Mon père et vous vous êtes-vous ennuyés hier soir ?”

It’s a lot of “vous”, but it seems more consistent to me to “vouvoyer” throughout.

When can we use the past tense with the "bien que" phrase?

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?

Why is this wrong?

Can anybody explain why this is wrong?.. I can see pour as an alternative but why is pendant wrong here as it is, surely, expressing a duration.

Par exemple, la semaine prochaine, pendant Pâques, nous ferons une chasse aux œufs en français !

Giving "pour" as correct.
