I conjugated Elles font and was told that Elles fait is correct. I don't think think that is true. Could you please examine that question and explain the answer to me?

I used “Évidemment” instead of “Bien sûr” for the term “Of course”, and it was not included as any of the accepted terms. Could you please explain the appropriate use of “évidemment”? Several dictionaries translate it as “of course”, but perhaps there is a usage nuance that I do not understand? 

Thank you for your remarkably helpful site!!

Is it 'de' rather than 'des' because 'des' becomes 'de' in a negative sentence ?

Female professor would not use the title professeuse?

I spelled out fatigue without an accent and it was marked wrong.  How do you do that?

Hi - how would you translate "a la fois" at the end of this piece please? Thanks

I don't understand why these are both correct, but one's in the passe compose and the other is in the imparfait.

En 2004, j'avais de l'argent.
In 2004, I had money.

En 1815, Napoléon a perdu la bataille de Waterloo.
In 1815, Napoleon lost the battle of Waterloo.

Is it because Napoleon only lost the battle one time, but we can assume I had money for the whole of 2004.

I know that depuis can be used with the passé composé in the negative sentence but can it also be used with the affirmative?

How would you translate a sentence like:

I have seen him once since last week or They have visited their grandmother twice since last week. 

When I translated them into Google and other translation sites they both use the affirmative passé composé with depuis, which I didn't think you were meant to do. 

It may not have caught on generally, but I have seen the revised spelling of 'ognon' in use in supermarkets. Should be accepted as correct spelling, as well as the 'traditional' oignon (1990 rectifications).

Is un repas an acceptable alternative to un dîner ?

Also chez nous instead of à la maison.
