In the test above, for the translation of "Marie achète du café.", I chose "Marie buys some coffee", due to the lesson above. However, the correct answer is "Marie buys coffee". Why is this?

I think the translation should be “charm your jury”, not “seduce your jury”, as the latter has a sexual meaning. 

Why is the first sentence in imparfait - he only went on one business trip?

Why is the second sentence in passe compose - she had tears in her eyes all day long?

quand Samuel était en voyage d'affaires à Bruxelles. 

j'ai eu les larmes aux yeux toute la journée !

très difficile, je ne comprends pas Jean-François

Anyone know the meaning of oudoré?

It means golden according to Google translate. 

While the lesson is clear that the le passé composé is used here to use depuis for negation, I'm not sure how to ask the question that leads to this response: 

For example: When was the last time you your mother saw you? 

- Is it: Quelle était la dèrniere fois/Depuis quand ta mere t'a vu/te vois?

In either the case the answer would be in passé composé: for instance: Elle ne m'a pas vu depuis longtemps

Thanks!
