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

Nicole

Should the Imparfait or Passé composé be used here?

Hello everyone,

So, I do know that when it comes to emotions, you're going to use the imparfait. But what about if it's a one-time thing? For example: I saw her yesterday at the supermarket and she was very upset.

It's a one-time thing and maybe it lasts a little bit, and she'll be over it quickly. Would you still use the imparfait?

Veux vs Voudrais?

Sometimes Vouloir (to want) is conjugated as veux at the present tense, but sometimes it is conjugated as veux for the pronoun je. Does this have to do with formality?

Sur vs dans

I thought that with streets , roads we used the preposition Dan’s... then why are we using sur for chemin?
