On a dit la veritéEven when on means we, it is still conjugated as a singular person. I seem to think that sometimes it changes to a plural conjugation, is that when the verb is conjugated with être?

Definite articles with "de"This is probably a hopeless question, but why do masculine countries require an article with "de" whereas feminine ones do not? Why not "Je viens de la France"?

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.

Incorrect examplesWould be helpful to not include the incorrect forms in the examples in the lower part of the page: "C'est qui que tu as rencontré?" Otherwise, feels like it's reinforcing incorrect options.

"It is not necessary that"

(I'm afraid I can't remember the French question, but this was how I read it in English.)Why is this in the subjunctive? It seems to me to be a fact that the obligation is not needed. Thanks for the explanation.

Understanding ne .... point (negation)

In French films, I have often seen "Je vais pas" used instead "je ne vais pas". So presumably "Je vais point" is also used colloquially.
