This is probably a very fine distinction. "I got on my horse", according to the lesson would be "J'ai monté mon cheval." So why is it incorrect to say, ''Lucas a monté la nouvelle armoire de sa sœur.'' - "Lucas got on his sister's new wardrobe"?"

OK, let me see if I have this straight:

"Qui" means "who" ( a subject).

"Que" means "what" (an object).

"Qui est-ce que" means "whom" (an object).

"Qu'est-ce qui" means "what" (a subject).

Even if I have it right (and I'm not at all sure about that), it's totally confusing.  If "qui" means "who," why is it in a phrase that means "what"?

Thanks for any clarification!

This exercise is far far too long - I get distracted and bored and then I start over another day and the same thing happens.  It is now my third week of it and I have not passed Point 1.

It needs to be broken up into different lessons!  It makes me very annoyed and it is off putting to continue...

If I am recalling something from the past, do I need to use PC or imparfait?

For eg: I got down from the train that day.

Je me suis descendu du train ca jour

OR

Je descendais du train ca jour?

Which one is correct?

Isn't there a commonly used or a popular option from the 2 duplicates? Maybe a little asterisk could go a long way for newbies like me :)
