French language Q&A Forum

This is a perfect example of vocabulary/explanation that should be given ahead of time -- I'll bet that way more than 90% got this wrong! If you do not speak French fluently, you would never think of expressing "To think that by now" is expressed as "Dire qu'à l'heure qu'il est"! Help us be better students by explaining expressions such as this!

In the last sentence, "Et vous, comment s'est passé votre Noël cette année ?" If vous is the subject, shouldn't the verb be, vous etiez passé. How come it switches to 3rd person?

I found this article: "https://www.lawlessfrench.com/grammar/comparative-adverbs/", explaining how to use: "plus/moins/aussi que" and "plus/moins/autant de/que", and i did the 4-question kwiz at the of the lesson but I feel like I need more practice. Is there a way I could get more practice specific to these subjects?

Please: could someone please explain why the "de" is necessary in the following sentence:

"Il avait trop bu la veille de l'accident. "

I don't understand the need for the "de" following "la veille."

Thanks in advance!
