Different sub-headings - is there a reason that I am missing?Expressing cause with "Pour (+avoir) fait" = For doing/having done in French

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.

Slow Play Option

There should be an option to play slowly do each word could be deciphered separately. This would be a good addition to the listening practise section.

Use of depuis with Passe Compose?

Based on the lesson ¨Using depuis (since/for) with Le Present and NOT let Passé Composé (prepositions of time)" In a related kwiz I translated the phrase: The Woman in Black has haunted this house for centuries, into : La Dame en Noir hante cette maison depuis des siècles which was incorrect although I used the present tense as stated in the lesson.

The correct form should have been: La Dame en Noir a hanté cette maison depuis des siècles which is using le Passé Composé.

Can someone explain this to me please?
