Liaison between pas and assez

Another question ...

I noticed that there is no liaison between pas and assez in the audio of this lesson, but they also can be read as "pazassez", right?

Merci!

Qu'est-ce que c'est la Sorbonne

This is still being marked as incorrect. If it is, please explain clearly why; if it is not please fix the problem with the questions related to this topic - it is confusing enough to follow without having repeated confusion added by incorrect marking. I have checked previous answers and it was stated that it was correct but marked wrong for repeating words from the question - but the question was to write "What is the Sorbonne" in French. Fairly difficult to leave Sorbonne out of the answer.

I like THE carrots

Following on from the answer below; how do you then say "I like THE carrots" (i.e. the carrots I have on my plate right now)?

To say, 'I like carrots', you have to use the definite article, les and say -

J'aime les carottes

It sort of indicates in French that you like all the carrots in the world. very strange!

Des is a partitive article meaning 'some' so you might say -

Je voudrais des carottes, s'il vous plait = I'd like some carrots, please

or

Donnez-moi des carottes = Give me some carrots

Quatre-vingt or quatre-vingtS

According to Cecile's response and Lawless French there should be an 'S' with quatre-vingts. If so, this lesson may need a tweak!

Choosing a tenseI am wondering about the once upon a time a king lived in a castle. Can this be more than one tense. If it is a story concerning a king who lived in the castle, then it is imperfect. What if it is about kings in general once upon a time a king lived in a castle, now he lives in a council house. Does the tense still have to be imperfect, or could it be that that situation is completely changed and it could be past historic. A bit confused.
