Martin n'est pas arrivé depuis longtempsA negative completed in the past, would that not be (in English) "had" instead of "have"?? Because "has not" sounds uncompleted

The example for dropping 'ne' explétif in speechThe example in the remark near the end of the lesson does not have a negation in the main verb, so it wouldn't need 'ne' explétif. In fact, it's exactly the same phrase that was used in the first example in this lesson: Il est venu sans que tu le saches.

Using ‘aller’ for imperative with reflexive verbsBonsoir, The lesson indicated that when we use ‘aller’ for an imperative with a reflexive verb we should use the infinitive form of the verb as in: Allez, vous habiller! So the answer provided for the corresponding question should have been: Allez, vous embrasser! Instead, it was : Allez, embrassez-vous! Can you please explain why? Thanks!

Quel que/qui que/quoi que/quelque...que

Hello Kwiziq members, I know we haven't talked about the topic of expressing "no matter what/who/when/how/where" here? But can we create an article and talk about this in depth?

1. How to use quel que/qui que/quoi que/quelque que in a sentence?

2. How to use peu importe in a sentence?

3. What is the difference between these two?

Merci beaucoup!

"right past tense"It was asked in a question to use "faire" in right past tense. When it was left unanswered, it was suggested to use imperfect tense as per 'quick lesson'. Does "right past tense" mean "imperfect tense"? This terminology was not used in the earlier lessons on imperfect tense. Please clarify.

Est-ce que tu as de la farine?In the question 'Est-ce que tu as de la farine?' , it sounds like you don't say part of 'Est-ce que'. Why is that?
