The lesson on professions and pronouns says that when an adjective is used a pronoun is needed.

So would :  "Catherine, une ancienne prof de philo"

be acceptable

I am a bit confused on the contexts you would use this, because it feels like a bit curt ? Would it be OK to use it for example, when you do a favor to someone that they want to repay, and you respond with this ? Or might it come across as a bit too aggressive ?

Can someone explain why the first verb in the extract is in the perfect, while the second (and subsequent) are in the imperfect? They all seem to be describing the continuing circumstances, which calls for the imperfect as I read this: Expressing opinions and describing with the imperfect tense in French (L'Imparfait)

Why do i not use l'imperfait in this sentence. Its a habit? So i use the imperfait?

Pourquoi pas, "qui ne nous effraie/effraye pas du tout" ?

"Une délicieuse viande grillée"

I can't find anything in the rules for adjective placement explaining the placement of "délicieuse" before "viande" instead of between "viande and grillée.
