Hi,

Is 'tant mieux' used in a sarcastic sense, like 'good for you' in English, or is it used in a genuine sense.

In the second last sentence, could you use "déposerai" instead of "laisserai"?

Hi, there is a little problem because the neighbour's name is spelled "Viviane" the first time and then "Vivianne" the second time :-)

Tu étais en retard ce matin!

Hello!

Why use PC in the first sentence and then IMP in the second? Why were these tenses used?

In the phrase "J'aime beaucoup ce nouveau bijou" why doesn't beaucoup need a "de"? 

N'importe qui va pouvoir faire = anyone can do... How would this sentence be completed retaining the original wording? 

Bonjour, est-ce qu'on dirait:

Elle est à New York. (pour la ville) 

Elle est en New York. (pour l'état)

Merci!

If the expression is "faire exprès DE", why is the contraction "ne l'ont pas and not n'en ont pas'? 

Hi

Is it acceptable to use future proche for this article.  For example, I think I said 'Je vais rendre visite ... '  rather than 'Je rendrai visite'.  Is the event discussed too far in the future to be able to use the future proche?

Thanks
