Naître in the present and past tensesOne of the test questions for this lesson is: Zoë est née avant Lèo. Zoë is born before Léo. Is this past tense translation correct because the speaker is necessarily speaking about a past event? Could we use the present tense here?

dans l'après midi OR l'après-midi ?

Hello!! I would like to know if we could use both "dans l'après-midi" and 'l'après- midi" when we want to say, "in the afternoon." Also, in the morning in French, we don't use "dans" correct? The same for "in the evening"?? Merci beaucoup !!! I look forward to the answers.

J'aime bien vs. j'aime beaucoup

What is the difference between "j'aime bien" and "j'aime beaucoup?" I wrote "j'aime beaucoup toutes les couleurs," and "beaucoup" was marked incorrect. Thanks!
