what are the meaning of jusque-la?
Do I use it in present tense,past tense and future tense ? and does it have two meaning? (until then,So far)
Examples: 
1-Mon fils était un brave garçon jusque-là= My son was a good boy until then

2-C'est mon moment préféré jusque-là=it is my favourite moment so far

3-Les reste de cadeaux attendra jusque-la=The rest of the gifts wait until then

Aidez-moi S'il vous plait

Please explain why partir is used instead of aller for "Where are you going this year"?

What's the meaning of this phrase, "enchaîné les apéritifs?"

"A series of drinks?" or perhaps even "a round?"

This is more of a comment than a question.  My problem is that in terms of the grammar, I know all the concepts and have achieved 90% in my progress reports.  I only achieved 50% for this because of the speed and liaison/elision of the speaker.  For example  "moins le quart" sounded to me like moinsquart.  I did not pick up the "le".  Another example "Le taxi arrivera vers six heures et demie", I didn't hear "vers" at all, so substituted "à" for it to make sense.  I need B1 to be successful in an application for citizenship.  Phew!!  I've got a long way to go.

Hi - Could someone explain why the phrase 'mais elle a toujours aimé cet instrument' is in the perfect tense and not the imperfect?  Doesn't the sentence imply that her 'liking' the instrument has no definite time frame and there is no indication of when or if she ever stopped 'liking' the accordion?  I also have the same question as Drew and Maren regarding 'mais elle l'a réussi' as an alternative answer to 'mais elle l'a eu'.  Thanks!
