So the question was:
How would you say ''You haven't lived here long.'' ?
1. Tu n'as pas habité ici depuis longtemps.
2. Tu n'habites pas ici depuis longtemps.
3. Tu n'habitais pas ici depuis longtemps.
4. Tu ne vas pas habiter ici depuis longtemps.
So the instructions are that with negation depuis is in passe composé, so I picked the answer number 1, but in results this was wrong as they wanted present - answer number 2.
What gives?
Are both of them correct and both can be used equally?
- Je me suis arrêtée d’aller à la salle de sport.
- J'ai arrêté d'aller à la salle de sport.

"...nous ne sommes pas des surfeurs expérimentés." Why not 'de' instead of 'des' ?
brrrrrrrrrrrrrr
Hi,
I wonder how I should use "pas ... non plus" when there's an auxiliary verb as well.
Thank you in advance.
Je suis confus. pourquoi est-ce "la capitale de la France mais "le royaume de France.
Hello, at the question On a rendez-vous à ______ (We're meeting at six PM.)
I wrote six heures de l'après-midi instead of the correct answer dix-huit heures. Why my answer is wrong?
Thanks
Quelle est la différence d'utilisation entre les magasins, les commerces et les boutiques ? Est-ce une question de taille, de spécialisation, etc. ?
I get that "magasin" is generally a retail outlet & "commerce" is more for small business, but I've seen them used interchangeably. In the States "boutique" is usually for high-end or very niche-oriented items, but that doesn't always seem to track en français.
