why there's not il/elle; nous; ils/elles?
Tu n'as pas habité ici depuis longtemps. I've studied and understood the rule about using the 'passé composé but I can't see where my mistake is. Help!
I was surprised to see « de la confiture de framboises » indicated as incorrect (the final 's' getting the red strikethrough), not as an acceptable alternative. Only the singular « framboise » was indicated as correct, although the question was raised a year ago and it was noted that either is acceptable.
The plural « framboises » is clearly not incorrect and should not be marked so. Otherwise, it looks like Bonne Maman et St Dalfour may need to change their labelling.

FYI: I believe "vrai(e)" should be included in this lesson.
An old castle is still an old castle. If it was an old castle, that implies it is something else now but formerly it was an old castle. It was an old castle that we just saw OR what we are looking at not was an old castle but no longer is'
Serious ambiguity in the question. Either answer could be correct depending on context
How would you say: ''It was an ancient castle.''C'était un château ancien.C'était un ancien château.In my readings of french, I come across this expression frequently, but it seems to have several different meanings. I would appreciate a lesson on the many different meanings for "à peine".
Thanks!
Would it be possible to say je SERAI enfin la Reine during château at the end? If I'm feeling very positive that this will come about cf just imagining a theoretical case where it would? I understand conditional would then be required.
soir vs soiree
I don't know if there are any more. Thank you in advance!
