QUESTION #1 on the short quiz. I love the question and its hint "How would you say ''I haven't been in France for long.'' ?(literally: I haven't long arrived to France.)
The answer: Je ne suis pas arrivé en France depuis longtemps.
Je ne me sens pas intelligent et j'ai l'air stupide comme ça depuis longtemps !!! I think i get it! I know I got it! OOOPS me no get it!!
The hint imposes a thought process on the reader which would not be there otherwise. Clever... it reinforces the understanding of the verb 'arriver' as a sort of process.... and shakes up the marbles in the old nuggin.
However!!! My question. I arrived in France 'yesterday' and I am telling someone today that "I haven't been in France for long". I am thinking it calls for the Present indicative and depuis. Since i was in France as of yesterday(the past) and am still here today (the present).
Je ne suis pas en France depuis longtemps!!!
Without the hint and its imposition of the verb 'arriver' then doesn't this question change dramatically.
Help!!!!!!!

He does not say 'installent DES projecteurs et DES caméras' as I would have expected. Is what he says an acceptable grammatical alternative?
While the speed was challenging, by listening several times I better understood many of the words. In the future, I will need to follow the whole story more carefully to help put each line in better context. Question: As someone at A2, am I overreaching to practice at a B1 level?
In the sentence: "Que tu l'admettes ou non, ce ne sont pas tes amis," why is "ce ne sont pas" used for "they're not" instead of "ils ne sont pas"? Thank you.
In example question 1 of this lesson, you say: "Croyez-vous qu’il arrive bientôt ? Oui, ... crois." (Do you believe he'll get there soon? Yes, I believe so.)
Doesn't "Croyez-vous qu’il arrive bientôt?" mean "Do you think it's coming soon?".
Shouldn't it be "Croyez-vous qu'il y arrivera bientôt?"
'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.

So one can say: Il fait que tu aies de la patience and Il fait que tu sois patient - yes? Both are grammatically correct in English? You must have patience / You must be patient. One being a noun the other an adverb.
