Could someone please help give me an example in negative form? I would like to understand if the du has to change to de.

Ex Paul will never hurt me (both physically and emotionally)? 

This is a test question. Could someone help to explain how to understand this "en" used here? I'll imagine "Il n'en croit pas grand-chose" would be correct.

Why is it "Bien qu'il soit actuellement l'astronaute français le plus célèbre...", and not "Bien que ce soit actuellement l'astronaute français le plus célèbre..." ? I thought that you have to use "c'est" (and not "il est") with a noun that has an article and an adjective. 

Some references say the following meaning about the verbs:

-sortir = to bring out

-sentir = to do

-repartir: to answer back,

is this true?

Merci!

I read the lesson and it indicated that in the negative, with depuis on should use the passe' compose and I got it wrong. The correct answer shows the present tense should be used.  This is contrary to the lesson. I am confused and need clarification.

Thank you, Norma 

'Je ne peux pas entendre' versus 'Je n'entends pas' . Do these 2 sentences translate differently as the 1st indicates there is an external reason for not hearing (music too soft), while the 2nd indicates an inherent hearing loss  (deafness)? Does this apply to other Modal verbs? If so, examples really help with understanding. Thanks in advance.
