Is this brand name white out?

I just wondered if we have to use C'était un bâtarde rather then il était because Pip was not a human being

How do know when to use these before the season? 

I translated this exercise perfectly but scored zero. That was I misunderstood and found the exercise difficult to interpret.

Hi, 

I was wondering why "je veux" is considered impolite in most contexts, but "voulez-vous" isn't, as they're both forms of "vouloir". Is it only impolite to use the verb "vouloir" when talking about yourself? So would, for example, "il veut" or "ils veulent" be polite?

Thanks in advance!

For example : Can « Ainsi le nom » mean « that’s why the name.»?

Why is the "il lui coupait" in imparfait and not passé composé? It interprets the first actions (aunt speaking), so I thought it should be passé composé.

I know I've covered this at sometime but can't remember why we add ez on words that don't have vous in front of it.  Please remind me.
