In the last sentence, why is it "Bien que les années aient passé" instead of "Bien que les années soient passées" considering that passer is intransitive in this case? Thank you

Aller vs partir

In 1969, we went to conquer the moon. I wrote on est allés but was marked wrong for not using parti when another lesson used on est allés for “we went” so I’m confused and the lesson is about agreement with on. Doesn’t explain why parti is right and allés is wrong. Also, I don’t get email notifications so don’t see any answers to questions unless I happen to run across it elsewhere. Help! Thanks.

lundi vs. le lundi

Aurélie le rappellera ________.

For this fill-in question I answered d'ici le lundi (wrong) instead of d'ici lundi. This is surely something I "learned" a long time ago (lundi vs. le lundi) but have forgotten because I haven't used it much. Could you please point me to a lesson where I can refresh my memory?

Thanks very much.

Bien à vous

Un ami m'a écrit que quand on utilise l'expression "bien à vous" à la fin d'un email ça n'est pas écrit par une femme à un homme. On dit "Une femme n'écrit pas "'bien à vous" a un homme, une femme n'envoie pas ses "sentiments" à un homme." Qu'en pensez-vous ? Quelle est la règle grammaticale appropriée ?

un and autre agree in gender (un/une/autre)

1) It seems 'autre' only agrees in number, as seen in the examples. If there is a situation where there's agreement in gender could you please provide an example?

2) In the example of Maxime being hyperactive, should it be: Elle est hyperactive (F)?

Why do you contract je ai to j'ai but leave tu as and not t'as ?It seems like tu never contracts with the following verb. Are there other words that end in vowels but never contract with the next word ?

cadet/ aineeI have heard cadet used to mean youngest of a group of siblings., as aine ( no accents on keyboard) is used to mean the eldest or first born. why can cadet not be used for youngest daughter . In your writing challenge you did not offer cadet as a possibility although for a previous sentence you used ainee for the oldest .
