What would be the meaning of "et encore" in her sentence : "Mieux vaut éviter les vêtements que le bébé ne portera qu'une seule fois, et encore". I can't work out why (or in what sense) she is adding "et encore" at the end.

Present or past?This lesson is titled Using Le Passé Composé for immediate/near future actions but it is really on using the present tense to speak of near future actions, not Le Passé Composé. Or am I missing something?

Combien coûte ce livre ?

Hello , to my understanding , there are 2 types of question ,formal and informal . But what type is this that the question "Combien coûte ce livre ?" belongs to ?, Because it's not follow the formulas for formal type ( Est-ce que or inversion ) . And it's not also follow the formula itonation for informal type (question word + statement itonation) like Combien ce livre coûte ?. Why combien is an adverb but can be followed by a verb (coûte). So it confuses me here . Can you explain for me please ?

J'ai passe ou je passais

The first sentence uses J'ai passe' for "I have passed." To me, this should be je passais (imparfait). The writer is not describing a unique instance of an event in the past but rather he is making a general description of his actions in the past. He is describing multiple instances.

In the example above ‘Il trouvé que c’est une belle maison’, shouldn’t the translation be ‘He thinks it is a beautiful house’

L'inversion du sujet et verbe

Je comprendais des autres professeurs que l'inversion est utilisé moins que 1% du temps à l'oral car c'est trop soutenu, très formelle. Si c'est vrai, pourquoi n'acceptiez les deux formes plus utilisé: "Est-ce-que ..." et l'indicatif normal avec un point d'interrogation ?

Et oui, je sais que l'inversion est utilisée plus fréquent dans les journaux et en géneral en écrivant.

Ou, peut-etre mieux, vous pourriez constater que même que les inversions sont utilisées peu fréquent à l'oral, toutes ces questions utilise l'inversion du sujet et verbe.
