Hi. I'm wondering about the sentence Elles ne se sont pas rasees cette semaine./ They didin't shave this week.  You would normally associate shaving with men, not women as in your example.  Wouldn't it be  better to change the subject of the sentence to ILS ne sont pas rases cette semaine, and a week being a long time to go without shaving, the end could be 

ce  matin, not cette semaine. and you would get a nice sentence 

They (men) didn't shave this morning.

I understand both are used to indicate my, however, I’m not sure when to use one over the other

Just thought I mention in case some US members are confused:  Most Americans say "being/standing in line," but most New Yorkers (and some others on the US East Coast) say "being/standing on line" and only some Americans (those familiar with British English from television, movies or traveling!) would understand "the queue." So thanks for "translating" the phrase "the queue" for us Americans. 

I probably missed something, but isn't this example in the Conditional and not the Pluperfect?

      Si nous l'avions choisi, nous l'aurions regretté.

      If we'd chosen him, we would have regretted it.

It would be great if I could understand why I'm wrong ;-)

your example above looks wrong... Martin n’est pas arrivé depuis longtemps should mean Martin hasn’t been here in a long time.  the past tense implies the action is completed. right???

why is it J'habite A Paris but J'habite EN France and AUX Etats- unis? what is the difference ?
