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!

Why don't i have access to kwiziq questions after an article

I have been subscribed to Lawless French for many years and appreciate your lessons, and also the Kwizig quizzes at the end of each lesson, but recently where I read "Test yourself on some of the French grammar used in this article" no quiz follows. Can you tell me why??

In the first sentence, "Avant que tu ne sois née, je ne pensais pas....why the imparfait? To me that is a fact started and ended in the past.

Se balader v se promenerI read this in the lesson on ‘walk’. Je me balade dans le parc avec Julie.I'm taking a walk in the park with Julie.

But when in my study plan quiz I answered:
‘Write "We're having a walk in Central Park": Nous ________ dans Central Park’ with (Nous) nous baladons (dans Central Park.) it was marked wrong.
I realise it’s informal but I can’t see anything in the question to suggest that informality would be in appropriate. What’s the problem? I checked the conjugation with Lawless French.
