Isn't this wrong? Shouldn't be "I am coming to see Martine." Or "I come to see Martine?"Je viens de voir Martine. I've just seen Martine. <- Past tense???

"J'étais mariée quand j'avais 20 ans." "I was married when I was 20." Does that mean that during my 20s I was married and not that I got married when I was 20? Thanks!

Question about some translations in this lessonI am confused as to when to use the present tense vs. the passe compose. For example: Rien n'est arrivé. Nothing has arrived.Nothing has happened. It is to do with the use of "has". For Rien n'est arrivé. Nothing has arrived.Nothing has happened. Why not Nothing arrived.Nothing happened. Or, why not say Rien n' arrive
