In this exercise the sentence including "pouvoir payer"...why is this not "je ne peux pas?"  Also later in the dialogue when referring to M. Duport was his representative, the dialog uses present tense C'est not C'etait.  why?

Hi, just wanted to say that I think this is a very fun text and I loved listening to the audio, it's very authentic and sweet :)

So, for words that end in -re, we drop the "d" as well?

If the sentence  is "Elle finira en prison pour avoir tué son amant." ....why does the English translation say "She will end up in prison for killing her lover" and not 'She will end up in prison for having killed her lover"....?

my goal is conversational french. I'm happy to know that passe simple exists, but I dont want to spend time on it. Is it possible to ignore it ?

I would like to ask why in the first sentence 'à Pâques' is not correct and it is translated 'pour Pâques' instead. According to this lesson (Which prepositions to use with celebration days - like Christmas - in French) the preposition should be 'à'. Are there other situations?

Also, why is there the article in '... pour déjeuner le dimanche' if it refers to a specific Sunday? (Using "le" with days of the week + the weekend (French Definite Articles))

Thank you 

I am struggling to see why you have suggested one can use i or y but when I use the y in the answer of the verb, it is wrong.
