Hello, I am trying to understand why the article is written in present tense but the translations are in the past tense? Thank you.

Is the pronunciation of j’aurais and j’aurai identical in French spoken in Canada? I thought that some regions -ai = é and -ais = è.

In the Charles Aznavour song it's "On a tort de penser, je sais bien, aux lendemains". I'm confused by the lendemains as it is in the present tense and referring to the future. Why that word? Is this how one would say "tomorrows" in a poetic sense, referring to the future in a boader sense vs. just "tomorrow" as in the day after tomorrow. Could you replace lendemains with something else and still have it make sense?

Does habiter need a prepositionIn my book 501 French verbs it teaches that the verb habiter doesn't require a preposition so, J'habite cette maison, is acceptable.

Is "J'habite à [city] an exception? Is "J'habite [city]" acceptable?

when to use aimer/adorerI'm still struggling to get my head around the nuances of aimer and adorer, even though I have read through the lesson a number of times. Can anyone suggest a useful additional resource to help me?

I am confused now - I did not know that "had been doing" something translates into regular Imparfait?
