Pour le premier, j'ai choisi 1a, mais kwiziq a dit que la réponse 1b ("You've") est exacte. Pourquoi ? En anglais, "you've had" veut dire "you have had", à peu près un temps parfait. Est-ce-qu'il aurait du que la correcte réponse soit 1a: "You had a little brother" ?

Buvez-en ! means......."Drink some". Can you explain why "Drink them !" would be incorrect? Thank you.
why cant we use Les questions rather than des questions.
This was a question in the test and I chose the passé composé answer "Nous avons appris l'espagnol." because the action has no effect on the present. But the answer key said the imparfait answer "Nous apprenions l'espagnol." is correct choice. Why is that?
All the examples listed for when "non plus" is the appropriate response for sentences that include "ne ... pas." I am curious if you can use "non plus" if the negative adverb is other than "ne ... pas"?
E.g., "Je ne vais jamais au cinéma." "Moi non plus"
Also, what if the statement is positive and you respond in negation? E.g., "J'aime la vanille" and I don't like vanilla. Do I say, "moi non plus," or is "moi non" the right response?
Thanks!

How can you distinguish "le costume" form "les costumes" while listening. It sounds the same for me.
