Why do you use the passe simple here (tu agis for 'you were acting') instead of "tu as agi" or "tu agissais" ?

Paul me fait mal  vs.  Elle me fait du mal quand elle dit ça.   I understand that du is for emotional pain and à is for physical pain, so why does the first example have neither?

When is future proche used in a sentence.

When is Aller used in the future

hi,

when you guys have this sentence as an example un riche comme cresus homme it was marked wrong is that because it should have something else describing the riche? Also as i'm searching to understand this should i treat these as like the similie and metaphors as we do in english?

thank you

Thanks
