Present tense as apposed to the imperfect and passé compose.

Is it always the case that one uses the present tense after depuis que rather than the imperfect and passé composé as in " Since I was small, I travelled a great deal"?

A few questions

I have a few questions regarding this exercise:

1. The phrase 'je me suis sentie méprisée' - I was a little confused about whether to make 'senti' or 'méprisé' agree with the female speaker. In fact I got it wrong, as I see that both should agree. Could you explain the rule, or do you have a lesson I could look at for this?

2. what is the meaning of 'de l'instrumentalisation du vote barrage'?

3. what is the meaning of 'voter blanc'? I have a good idea but would be very interested to hear an explanation.

Thankyou once again, dudes of Lawless French for an interesting dictée, with some good new vocab.

Next year, I'm coming in the Alps with you

This sentence in English should be either "next year I'm going to the Alps with you", or "next year I'm coming to the Alps with you" (depending on the speaker's location at the time of speaking). There are structures which use 'in' but I suspect they are more complex than wanted for this exercise.

Suggest change the English, with a clue such as "French - in the Alps". This ensures better English, and reinforces that preposition use is different between French and English.

(As always, there may be regional English usage differences, but I am not aware of that being the case here)
