In the last vignette, is quais incorrect for the dialogue? isn't Oui correct?
The sentence to which I refer is, Géricault's masterpiece was directly inspired by the tragic shipwreck of the real frigate "The Medusa" in 1816, which fifteen people survived to in atrocious conditions: hunger, thirst and, worst of all, cannibalism. I believe the correct grammar would be "... in which fifteen people survivied in ( or under) atrocious conditions...". The translation to 'auquel' becomes more evident.
The examples above are all in english, twice, with no french version. What am I missing?

Pour moi, la meilleure joueuse de tennis française sera toujours Amélie Mauresmo.
I don't understand why we can't use the
Passé Composéwhen there is no reference to a duration of time. For example "during that year the letters had been sent"??? This sentence seems like it was a one time action. ???
Bonjour , j'habite à El Salvador . El Salvador est trés beau. this sentence is correct?

The english is ' until she can do it herself' . 'toute seule' I think translates here as 'on her own'. Should it not be 'elle-meme'?
