"I would buy a house in the contryside"The sentence "I would buy a house in the countryside" is in one of the writing tests. The translation given by kwizbot is: J'achèterai une maison à la campagne which, I believe is incorrect. It ought to be "achèterais", i.e., the conditionel.

Would it be correct to say "Je suis retourné me coucher après que tu partis"? I'm confused re when to use passé composé versus passé simple.

Can someone please explain why the etre is used in the following question instead of Avoir. I'm a bit confused by this because most of the other sentences do not use je suis. Thanks Je suis avec ma copine depuis 2005. I have been with my girlfriend since 2005.

The pronoun Y

I am not clear on these two examples even after rereading the lesson. I can't see the exact phrase or object that is being replaced (assuming its introduced by à or a prepositional verb). Is there another situation where "en" can be used.

- Tu te rappelles quand Luc a perdu à Donkey Kong à deux secondes de la fin ? J'ai les boules à chaque fois que j'y pense !
- Quand j'ai vu le “Game Over”, je n'arrivais pas à y croire ! Il me reste quatre tickets, et toi ?

ça vs le or la

I have often found that when they use something like "de ne pas faire ça" I have used "de ne pas le faire". Is this incorrect usage? Or just another alternative?
