Il remporte un succés immédiat auprès du public. This sentence is translated to 

Where is the past tense coming from why is the original not in passé composé? 

I don’t understand why this translates in the present as well as in the historic past?

I know that ils is used for masculine or mixed masculine and feminine groups and elles is used for feminine groups. But what if there are more feminine than masculine objects such as a group of one man and ten women? Would it then be acceptable to use 'elles' to refer to that group or would I still have to use ils even if only thing is masculine?

Bonjour,

I was working on a quiz and I put "La situation devienne incontrôlable" but that answer is wrong? Apparently, even though la situation is feminine, the answer is "La situation devient..."??

The very first example given of when to use "c'est" is:

"C'est une jolie robe."

This clearly refers to a specific dress.

But then we are told that the answer to "Tu aimes mon pull?"  should be "Oui, il est très beau."

Why is the rule for a specifc dress different than the rule for a specific sweater? Is it that "il/elle est" should be used when answering a question about a specific thing but that "c'est" can be used otherwise? 

The last sentence is Elle n'en croira pas ses yeux!  Why is "en" used in this context?

Bonjour!

Could you please explain that sentense: c'est la preuve que nous sommes donc tout autre que les spotifs? I don't understand when we can use 'donc' in the sentense.

Merci!
