Am I wrong?On a quiz, I answered the question, "How would you say ''Suzanne hasn't seen him since 2013.'' ?" with "Suzanne ne le voit pas depuis 2013." because, to me it is very clear that it's something on going, and is still true. The answer Kwizbot gave me was that "Suzanne ne l'a pas vu depuis 2013." which would imply that perhaps or perhaps not Suzanne has seen her or him since 2013, since the action in the past is finished.

The sentence I am trying to make sense of is: "Pas de quoi rigoler a priori mais tonton.......". My understanding is: "Nothing to laugh at in the last statement but uncle....". Am I correct and is the "Pas de Quoi" part really just a shortening of: Il y a pas de quoi?

Your help will be greatly appreciated.

aimer vs. aimer + bien

Is there any reason the lesson uses only aimer to mean "like" for J'aime lire but then uses aimer + bien for "like" in Vous aimez bien vous promener ?

I thought aimer meant love if bien wasn't added. Thank you!
