Simon m'attend à la gare." can mean expects me at the station?I thought that only with the reflexive s'attendre à, would it be translated as expect. Is that an incorrect understanding on my part?

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.

When used in a questionYou wrote 'When used in a question, "où" always means "where?" and "quand" always means "when?"' but didn't give an example. Does that mean "Le jour où j'ai eu vingt ans" become "Le jour quand ai-je eu vingt ans?" Thanks.

Ma voiture ancienne I wrote: "I believe ma voiture ancienne" means my OLD car and NOT my former car, but was got the answer marked wrong and said it was my "former car". There's a glitch here with the marking of this question surely???

Dernière foisI got this wrong: "C'était la dernière fois que tu m'as dit que tu m'aimais." means: Mauvais: It was last time that you told me you loved me. Correcte: It was the last time you told me you loved me Was it the last of several times and in that last time 'tu m'a dit que tu m'aimais.' Or... Was it the last time (of several times 'tu m'a dit que tu m'aimais') ? The former implies something like 'in our last meeting you told me you loved me.' The latter implies the final time you told me you love me (and you have not since) Me me suis perplexe.
