Dans cette phrase: ..."puis nous irons déjeuner dans un bistrot de votre choix", est-ce qu'on peut écriver aussi "puis nous déjeunerons dans..." ? Ce n'était pas claire qu'on doit utiliser le futur proche dans cette phrase.

jusqu'à ce que la Révolution Française n'éclate en 1789 : why the "N"?Never use the ne explétif with jusqu'à ce que.

I found this on the Lawless French website. Which is correct?

help, please!

I think I'm a bit confused when to use "voir" and "regarder". Also, would it be wrong to say "elle s'assoit toujour près de la fenêtre"?

Struggling with this oneTu n'as pas bu d'alcool depuis cinq ans.You haven't drunk alcohol for five years.

Here we use Passé composé because the use of the negation ne ... pas insists on the fact that the action stopped happening at the specific time mentioned (since/for) in the past.

If we used Présent indicatif here, it would make it sound like the action "keeps on stopping" during the given length of time.

To say that a (recurring) action in the past has now stopped happening with depuis, you can also use Présent indicatif with ne ... plus (not any more) instead of ne ... pas:

Tu ne bois plus d'alcool depuis cinq ans.You haven't drunk alcohol for five years.

What is the difference between these two?

Follow up from Charmond

Cécile

I think Charmond's (and now my) question arises because of ambiguity about the section headed (Un) peu de, where it is stated that «un peu de 'used with uncountable quantities'» etc. The impression given/gained is that this is in contrast to quelque(s) which is noted to be for countable quantities, and applies to the full section. However, on reflection, I think it means only that 'un peu de' is for uncountables, but that 'peu de' is/can be used for countables with a slight difference in meaning/translation when used instead of quelques. Please clarify - and maybe clarify in the lesson too! Thanks
