Hi! I don't quite understand the usage of à in the examples: Il le vend 3 € la livre; and Le pâté se vend à 1,25 € les 100 grammes. The verb is same, constraction is same. What's the difference? Can i use both? Thanks!

Il y avait une centaine de personnes ce jour-là.

The English translation of the above example should be “there were a hundred or so people that day” , not was a hundred. The total number of people overrides the fact that they are one hundred.

Is this usage the same in negative sentences?

I want to say "I have not written since December. Is this the correct way to say that: Je n’écris pas depuis décembre.

Gender agreement of examples

I don’t understand why “Je me suis bien amusée.” adds the “e” for the feminine subject but “Je me suis lavé les dents.” does not when both speakers are female.
