partitive article doesn't change with etre verb 

Vous etes des menteurs 

Vous n'etes pas des menteurs 

Are these sentences correct or not? 

HI .. 

i am in A2 level with 80% score , dashboard shows recommend level is B1 but all the recommend lessons stay in A2 .. i don't want to manually jump to B1,  I am wondering when the B1 lesson will be added in.

Can we use "d'habitude" at the beginning of a sentence?

"D'habitude, je ne prends pas le train."

Merci

Translate this please: "Celui qui a santé est riche sans le savoir."

Bonjour,

I like to retake tests at lower levels often (A0, A1) in order to practice those lessons while I continue to advance/learn at higher levels (A2). My studyplan won't revert to A2 lessons after testing at lower levels. How do I reprogram it to suggest new grammar lessons after I've been practicing old material?

Merci, Alec

Bonjour, est-ce qu'on dirait:

Elle est à New York. (pour la ville) 

Elle est en New York. (pour l'état)

Merci!

"D'abord, nous apprenons les mots de Pâques"

would it be acceptable to say

"D'abord, on apprend les mots de Pâques"

In a recent test I was asked to complete the following; Yves a les yeux…….( Yves has brown eyes). I wrote Yves a les yeux bruns which was deemed incorrect; why? My Harraps French English Dictionary assures me that either brun or marron can be used in this context.

Expressing cause with "Pour (+être) allé" = For going/having gone in French

I am unsure why «pour avoir (past participle)» is sub-headed 'simple expression' and «pour être (past participle)» is sub-headed "complex expression". Is it because the latter lesson also includes reflexives, or am I missing some other complexity with «être»? The lessons and phrases seem otherwise essentially identical, using avoir or être as required by the verb in infinitif passé form.
