J'ai manqué le concert de Michael Jackson en 1992 à Paris.” But the lesson says you don’t need partitive pronoun when meaning lack/missing something but you need DE. So why is it “J’ai manqué le concert’ not “J’ai manqué de concert”?  Thanks. 

Hi, 

I'm wondering why we would say 'on a dégusté des spécialités lyonnaises' rather than 'on dégustait des spécialités lyonnaises'. I thought that we would use the imperfect in this case as it happened over an extended period of time?

I thought with occupations there was no article prior to the occupation. Je suis médecin, not je suis un medecin. Is this an exception?

One of the test questions from another lesson:

Je suis sûre que nous ________ ce livre.

answer: aimerons

Why do we use Le Futur instead of subjonctif present? Do we use Subjonctif present automatically after 'que'?

Can we not just use ''Elle est ma soeur'' and ''Il est le fils de Martha'' ?

Edit: Nevermind, I asked my French friend who told me that you specifically cannot say 'Il/elle est un/une/mon/ma etc' 

This rule only applies to the pronouns 'Il' (he) and 'Elle' (she). 

So I've answered my previous question, so No you cannot say ''Elle est ma soeur'' it has to be ''C'est ma soeur''

I felt like it wasn't explained very in the lesson! (sorry!)  I hope anyone seeing this message finds this helpful.
