We enjoyed every moment of it

Hi. Would it also be correct if I had added the little pronoun “en” in this final sentence of the exercise.

i.e. “et nous en avons profité de chaque minute“, or “nous en avons apprécié chaque minute” or “nous en avons savouré chaque minute“ ? (I was trying to be very literal and trying to get the “of it” into the sentence instead of just “we enjoyed every minute”)

Thanks.

Difference btw. Qu'est-ce que c'est and c'est quoi and Est-ce qu...?

Hi,

I just got wrong for a question asking to translate "what's a pain au chocolat?" into french.

I chose, "Qu'est-ce que c'est......" and "c'est quoi..." and the result says im wrong...

The answer is "Est-ce que c'est..." and "c'est quoi..."

Why is it wrong to use "Qu'est-ce que c'est...?" and i would much appreciate if someone can explai the diffrence btw those 3 .....

position of "jamais rien" relative to "dit"Hi,

I am not clear about the position of "jamais rien" in these sentences below. Sentence #1 is listed as the correct answer - but it seems that the order of "jamais rien" in the second sentence is similar to examples shown in the lesson.

SENTENCE #1 Il ne dit jamais rien à personne.

SENTENCE #2 (my answer) Il ne jamais rien dit à personne.

Help, please! Thanks

Include the translations of the imparfait as well as of the present tense in Examples

As per Danilo's comment previously, (~11 months ago) it would be helpful with the examples for parler/finir/faire/prendre to have both the translation for the present tense form (as currently is included) and also for the imparfait form associated. I had to do a double take on this too - the lesson is on imparfait, and I expected consolidation of the meaning of those conjugations in the section. Relatively minor but useful, I think.

Le weekend est passé très vite.

I'm curious to know why this sentence isn't conjugated with avoir (passer + time) or "se passer" (to happen/take place)? Would it be incorrect to write "Le weekend s'est passé très vite"?

Passé composé vs present with depuis que

Please clarify why in this lesson the passé composé is used in "Depuis que je t'ai rencontré, ma vie a complètement changé" but present tense is used in "Depuis que j'ai quatre ans, je porte des lunettes." Thanks.
