So, I've been listening to Ta Reine by Angele and I was wondering why in the line: Il lui faudra du temps, c'est sur, pour oublier tous ses prejuges Il and lui are right next to each other. Is it a thing where there's a direct pronoun before the verb? Or if it's something with grammar?
Thank you!
Mon amie fait ses propres bijoux.
Shouln't it be: Ma amie fait ses propres bijoux ?
I see that it refers to feminine friend, not masculine.
Could I also say "pardon" for sorry, in this case? Thank you.
So I got a little confused: Why is there no "de" before "quelques", "plusieurs" etc? Why doesn't the rule of "de" before adjectives that precede nouns apply here?

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?
What is mean by 'gourde de limonade'?
when writing about being somewhere, when do you use à and when do you use de?
I understand this is plus que parfait, but shouldn't it be avait fait? Why is there an e here?
To quote the lesson
Just completely thrown by the imparfait/passé composé choices in this one. Before I started this course, I would have translated without hesitation "This has always been my favourite..." using the passé composé. However, mindful of "continuing activity in the past", I used the imparfait... and, as a result of that being wrong, thought, ok, I'll use the passé compose again at "I really wanted to see it on stage" (completed action in the past, surely?) - and of course that was wrong too. I'm really struggling to see what the logic is for using the particular tenses used here. The irony is, that if I'd followed my gut instincts and not thought about it, I'd almost certainly have got them the right way round!
