Pour + infin + pp only is in past tense??From reading the explanation above it explains that you can only use pour + infinitive and pp when the action is in the past or have I misunderstood? In the example given it says : Tu auras une médaille pour avoir sauvé ce pauvre chat. You'll get a medal for saving that poor cat. Would it not be for having saved that poor cat?? Thanks in advance!

"Everyone" vs "every one"I think that English speakers get confused between "everyone" and "every one". Perhaps this lesson might include usage of the phrase "tout en chacun"?
