Tu m’accompagnais à l'école tous les matinsIn the quiz I was marked wrong for selecting "You were accompanying me to school every mornming" for the translation of this sentence. It wanted "You used to accompany me to school every morning". Yet in another lesson (Avoir l'habitude de = To be in the habit of, to tend to (French Expressions with avoir)%252Fsearch%253Fs%253Dhabitude) you associate "used to" with "avoir d'habitude". To me (and Google Translate) that makes "You used to accompany me to school every morning" an inappropriate translation here. The other one, although less common than the obvious" You accompanied me to school every morning" seems the more appropriate choice.

Hi, I have a question about this sentence "Ma mère me berçait dans ses bras jusqu'à ce que je m'endorme." would it not be "...que je me suis endormé" as it is in the past?

Quitter vs PartirWe were asked to translate “I am leaving my place”. But it is ambiguous in English. E.g. if followed by “for ever” (as in moving out of my apartment), that would be “quitter”. But followed by “so i will see you at the cafe soon” would be “partir”. Shouldn’t the phrase be clarified to avoid ambiguity?
