"I have been living here for 10 years" --> J'habite ici il y a 10 ans". I know the translation provided by the video is "Il y a 10 ans sue J'habite ici". Why can't I say the I live part (J'habite) first? Thank u :)

Meaning of l'aspect défi

In the sentence, "De plus, l'aspect défi de cette initiative permet de déstigmatiser la non-consommation d'alcool...", I don't understand 'l'aspect défi'. In my dictionary, aspect and défi are both nouns, aspect and challenge respectively. Can you first translate and then explain? Thanks.

Capitalisation in dialogue

I kept getting corrected for using a capital letter after the "-" at the start of a line of dialogue. But it was frustratingly inconsistent—later I would get corrected for not using one. And the final text is displayed with capital letters in all cases. What's going on/what's the rule?

Découvrir (couvrir, ouvrir)

The Kwiz linked to this lesson had the question: "Ce jour-là, Marie découvrit la vérité"

It seems a bit illogical to class découvrir as a regular -ir verb, because it isn’t one in the present (even if it behaves as such in the passé simple).
