In the question presented, it said she had missed her bus and therefore had to ____________. I put "aller a pied" and the answer came up as "marcher". This does not seem to agree with the explication in the lesson.

passé composé or imparfait?

Bonjour!

How best to translate this sentence please? : "Were you there before?" - Etais-tu là avant? (or) As-tu été là avant?

and the same sentence in the negative: "Weren't you there before?" - N'étais-tu pas là avant? (or) N'as-tu pas été là avant?

Thanks.

I don’t understand why auqelle is used in this phrase. Ce problème, auquel je ne comprends rien, m'énerve!

à + a place?I was under the impression that we replace "à + a place" with "y", but the quiz gives "Elle pose les tasses sur la table." So "y" can replace any preposition + a place? Thanks.

"spent a day" vs. "spent the day"

How do you say the following in French?

a) I spent a day with Martin.

b) I spent the day with Martin.

My guess is:

a) J’ai passé un jour avec Martin. (following the example of "spent a year" indirectly)

b) J’ai passé la journée avec Martin. (following the quiz answer directly)

Am I correct? If so, why are the two different? Can I just remember "a" vs. "the" means one is a unit of time and one is emphasizing the duration? Thank you.
