Is it more appropriate to say use Qu'est-ce que c'est que in spoken form? ...and Qu'est-ce que c'est is appropriate written form. What did we mean by more formal?

I just saw the word "vit" used for "lives" in one of the examples sighted above. What is the difference between "vit" and "habite"?

Is the following a correct way to approach this?Depending on the context, I really struggled to see the distinction between which tense was appropriate to use with "depuis" and the negative. (I'm sure my Kwiziq results reflect that!) I've seen it described that The Present Tense is used when an action was taken in the past and is still the case now, and that Le Passé Composé is used to describe for how long something has not been going on. That is to describe an action that was not taken in the past, and has still not been taken yet. Is this an accurate way to decide which Tense is appropriate to use in negative sentences with depuis?

"Followed by" is habitually rendered as "suivi de". Does the "de" always change to "par" in the passive construction? If so, this is worth spelling out in the lesson.

Hi, can we only use "pour+infinitive" in the present time, if an action is not happened yet?example: Je lui dire pour l'aider, or Il m'aide pour terminer ce travail plus vite.
