depuis and ImparfaitI came across a sentence in a book where "depuis" was used along with the imparfait - can maybe you please confirm if it was used correctly? "Comme je ne faisais pas de bruit depuis un moment, maman est venue voir ce qui se passait." Merci d'avance!

What's the difference between devoir and avoir à?

I feel like sometimes I've seen these used in an interchangeable manner (devoir and avoir à). What I told my students was that "devoir" also means "must", so "avoir à" needs to be used in situations where "must" doesn't fit (i.e. "You don't have to go yet." "Tu n'às pas encore à partir."). Is this correct? In what other situations do you need to use one over the other?
