To translate the above phrase, why are you recommending the futur ("nous vous offrons") only and not also the futur immédiat ("nous allons vous offrir"). If the "futur immédiat" is not possible, why? If it is, why is the "futur" preferable?

Merci à l'avance

Rendu visited- visiter

You have described that to visit a *place* is "visiter" but visiting a person is rendu visiter. In this example someone is visiting a place - ie an apartment - why is this rendlu visiter, as you state?

How best to say "He loved this book!"?

While reviewing, I came across this question... "How best to say 'He loved this book!'?" Since the question was multiple choice, the answer that it expected was obvious. But isn't l'imparfait better suited for this example than passé composé? When someone "loves a book", it is not a brief, one time thing. They don't love the book and then forget about it the second they put it down. It is more likely that he loved the book for years, until he died. Or if he is still living, he continues to love this book. It just seems to me that an emotion is a rather bad question choice for passé composé.

Avoir raisonI've always heard "avoir raison" translated as/used more like "to have a point" than "to be right", and to that end have always thought of it as fairly informal. Seeing it translated as "to be right" leads me to wonder whether it's a little more versatile in terms of tone than I'd thought?
