do we always use depuis with the present tense? or can it be used with the past/future tense

Hi -

I was  trying to work out how you would say 'if the weather is good, we can take a walk in the park'. From the above it looks I can either use Se Promener or Faire une Promenade, but im not sure how to combine these with Pouvoir. I assume using 'Faire' it would be:

-s'il fait beau, nous pouvons faire une promenade dans le parc.

1) Is this correct?

2) Is there a way of saying this using the reflexive verb/conjugation with se promoner?

Thank you :) 

With dans, am I physically in the place? I’m trying to understand, clearly the difference between en & dans. Thank you.

Adding the passé simple to the picture is such a pain in the neck, really!!! Can I use un combattre in stead of une bataille to the final sentence of the story.

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?  

Il a vu ________ de ses amis, mais pas l'autre.He saw one of his friends, but not the other.
The answer calls for

Why is it the Canal du Midi and not the Canal de Midi, given that Midi describes the Canal and not the Midi is possessive of the Canal.   

The pronunciation is taken for granted in this lesson. It should be included.

I believe the English should say ‘Tomorrow Federer will lose to Roland Garros’.
