Hopping between l'imparfait and passé composéFrom writing challenge b2 week 62, this extract describes events in the past: La "navette" qui DEVAIT nous amener à l'hôtel ÉTAIT en fait un vieux bus de campagne cabossé dans lequel on A PU apprécier toutes les aspérités de la route." Why doesn't it stick to l'imparfait for all 3 verbs?

Better quiz questionFor this quiz, I suggest giving English sentences and multiple French translations. For example: The police arrived to late 1. Les polices sont arrivés trop tard. 2. Le police est arrivé trop tard. 3. La police sont arrivé trop tard. 4. La police est arrivée trop tard. Je propose aussi d'ajouter une deuxième question. Peut être: She brushed her long golden hair. Or Where are the rest rooms?

Is there an 'appropriacy' issue with 'c'est à moi' over 'c'est le miens'? Would one be be considered more formal than the other? (If so, which one!) Thanks.

Je vais chez le boucher.

Why "Je vais chez le boucher" and not "Je vais au boucher" when for going to boulangerie and marché, the answers are " je vais à la boulangerie" and "je peux aller au marché"? Are there certain places we need to use "chez" instead of "à"?
