You haven't lived here long is in the B1 test

The correct answer is "Tu n'habites pas ici depuis longtemps" yet the lesson shows using the passé composé in negative sentences with "depuis" Why is the correct response in the present tense?

“...puis elle a repris sa lecture”

Is it correct to also say “puis elle a repris a lire” ? “Then she resumed her reading” . Sorry, can’t type accents.

My new school bag

I have a question. In a writing execrise, it requires translate the sentence: My new school bag is blue and yellow. I understand it's a new brand school bag that hasn't be used before, so I wrote: Mon cartable neuf est bleu et jaune. But it marks wrong and the correct one is: Mon nouveau cartable est ...

Why is that and is my sentence correct?

You won't say ''Elle marche plus lentemente que moi.''

In the instructions, the letters "t" and "e" on "lentemente" are crossed out but only the "e" should be crossed out (to become "lentement"); "lentemen" is not a word.

Lui et leur

Salut,

Dans cet lesson ça dit qu'on utilise seulement 'leur' et 'lui' quand le verbe est normalement suivi par "à". Je me demande si vous avez une liste des verbes qui sont suivis par "à"?

Merci!

Translation of intensively

Does the word intensivement not exist in French? I used it in a test and it was marked incorrect and intensément given as the correct version.
