I understood that the par or devant were essentially the same - both mean to pass by something. I answered passer devant in this questions just to use a different way of expressing the same meaning. It was, however, said to be an error and passer par was the correct answer. Please explain. Thanks.
Hi.' Mademoiselle Rose, vous êtes devenue une charmante jeune fille' translates as: M. Rose, you became a charming young lady. Wouldn't the perfect tense: you have become ' be better here if this is a direct comment to Miss Rose?

Another problem I have here is with the explanations in the lesson. It says that when talking about SOMETHING SPECIFIC, you should use elle/il. But then there's this example: Qui est Sylvie ? - C'est ma sœur.
I would think that here we are talking about a very specific Sylvie, and not just some Sylvie. Then why do we say c'est instead of elle?
