In English there may be a difference in meaning between "You went out even though I wasn't ok with it" and "You went out even though I'm not ok with it"; I might have changed my mind in the interim: "You went out even though I wasn't ok with it [, but now I am ok with it]."

Hi.  Please could you tell me what 'le reblochon' means?  I couldn't find a translation for this.  Also, what tense is 'repartissez' please?  

Why in the case of 'he admires his cat', we use the possessive to translate - il admire son chat, when often in French we translate with the article - le, la, les.

how about being from a state or country? Are they all « de » somehow I can’t find lessons talking about from somewhere other than cities.  Is it:?

je viens de Californie

je viens de États-Unis. 

Merci d’aVance

Il nous faut une gomme pour effacer des erreurs.

thanks
