The translation is
Martin hasn’t been here long.
If the sentence is in le passé composé wouldn’t “depuis longtemps” mean “in a long time” and thus the translation would be “Matin hasn’t been here in a long time “?

Can I use "avec aucun d'entre eux"
For example
I refused to share the money with any of them. J'ai refusé de partager l'argent avec aucun d'entre eux.
Were they under-cooked? Is this referring literally to nuts/walnuts as part of the meal - or is it a part of the scallop, or a reference to the scallop?
The sentence was, "She is dividing the tasks," and we were supposed to fill in the blank with the verb "repartir." The correct answer was repartissez, but it just didn't sound right to me. I looked up the conjugation in three different places, and they all said it should be "repartez." Can you clarify this?
1) Could you please explain why 'papier' is pronounced with an 's' as it sounds like 'papSier'.
2) 'avec les mains et les pieds', To my ear 'pieds' sounds like 'lipsé' ... any help with understanding this pronunciation would be appreciated.
Thank you
I thought plural countries were aux so should it be 'aux Pays De Galles' instead of 'au Pays De Galles' or does Pays De Galles count as singular since it means Wales.
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
I don't quite follow what the "But only" is meaning in the following text from the lesson:
You can also use any of those with ne ... plus (not anymore / not again):plus jamais / jamais plusbut ONLY plus rienplus personneplus nulle part.
To go, come, climb down something. I don’t understand why a descendu doesn’t work for Jack climbing down the giant. The lesson seems to allow for it. Very confusing but not a phrase I’m likely to be using!
