L’imparfait ou plus-que-parfait for this Level C1 questionFor the question, “Je ne voulais pas écouter ________ . I didn't want to listen for fear that you'd be lying”. “De peur que tu ne mentes” is given as the correct answer. Why not de peur que tu n’aies menti?

passed tenseA recurring difficulty with the writing challenges is choosing between passé composé and l'imparfait (I wish there were more hints in the answers) B1 "week 49" "St Patrick's day" opens with "Last weekend, we were in Chicago to celebrate St Patrick's Day." 'nous étions' is the suggested answer. Why not 'nous avons été' ?

Qu'est-ce que?/Qu'est-ce que c'est que? "What is the difference between "Qu'est-ce que c'est que le Sacré Coeur à Paris" and "Qu'est-ce que la Sorbonne "? The Sorbonne and Sacre Coeur are both buildings. I have looked at the lesson and it doesn't help me to know why it isn't "Qu'est-ce que c'est que la Sorbonne.""

When is it "egale" and when is it "egal"? When the items being counted are feminine? What about just numbers?
