'I cut it' is both present and past tense in English.

It might be helpful if you indicate which it is? My natural inclination is to think it's past tense.

Use of "en" and "y" as replacements

Hello,

Can you help me understand the use of "en" and "y" as replacement pronouns in the sentence "J'en profiterai pour y aller avec lui"? I understand the general rules as explained in the lessons, but in this case I don't understand why they are both being applied. Wouldn't you just use "y" here to replace "la banque" ? Why are both "en" and "y" used?

Thank you.

Prévoir

In which lesson can I find the future simple conjugation of Prévoir? It seems to have a different pattern than explained in this lesson for VOIR or REVOIR. Isn't it a VOIR derivative. Please help.

Tu vs vous

I am trying why the woman's male partner addresses her as "tu" in one sentence, then as "vous" in the next sentence. Would please explain why?

se passer + a date

Can "se passer" be used with dates? Like, "Quand se passe le jour de la Bastille" or "Noel se passe le 25 décembre".

Merci d'avance!

Using c'est

HI,

I forget what lesson in A1 I saw this and now I can't find it. But one sentence has c'est un Vieux sac for it's an old bag but the second one is c'est un vieil home for he's an old man. My question is why is c'est for he is or she is shouldn't it be il/Elle est?

Thanks

Plural adjectives

Bonjour!

I noticed that in the sentence une femme heureuse at des femmes heureuses that the es was not underline like the others were.

I was hoping if you could fix that and underline the es so it could help the reader whose reading it understand it better. It was 2x on the same page.
