Great use of contemporary language

Merci, j'ai aimé le nouveau vocabulaire.

alors, est-ce que "faire un carton", "se défouler" "bluffant" et "mal en point" sont des expressions assez courantes maintenant?

réduit vs rogné, etc

Pour "j'ai réduit les dépenses superflues", peut on dire "j'ai rogné sur des dépenses superflues

et pour "il faut absolument que j'économise de l'argent", peut-on dire "il me faut vraiment économiser

et pour "même lorsque j'ai vraiment envie d'un burger ! ", peut on dire "même lorsque ce dont j'ai absolument envie c'est un burger"?

merci !

Elle a mangé tout le gâteau ! means:

In the test, I got the following question

"Elle a mangé tout le gâteau !" means:

- She is eating all the cake!

- She ate all the cake!

- She is going to eat all the cake!

- She has eaten all the cake!

- She had eaten eat all the cake!

Could you please explain why we you believe 'she has eaten all the cake' is correct but not 'she had eaten all the cake'? How would we say she had eaten all the cake in French and why is this not passé composé?

Does the whole sentence need to be in present tense?

Hi, if I was to say ‘I have been learning French since I was in school’, would I say: ‘J’apprends français depuis j’étais à l’école’ or ‘j’apprends français depuis je suis à l’école’? I am no longer in school so I’m thinking it may be the former however I’m not sure if the whole sentence needs to be in the present tense. Thanks
