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.

Les temps

Bonjour à toutes et à tous!

Je suis toujours un peu confus par les temps dans cet article. Je sais que quelque fois le présent indicatif pourrait exprimer les événements qui vont arriver au futur proche. Mais ici, c'est évident que l'auteur est déjà allé en vacances, sinon comment pourrait-il juger des activités "difficile" ou "fantastique"? Ma question est comment savoir, à partir de ces jugements, que le présent indicatif ici exprime le passé et pas un programme pour le futur?

J'espère que ma question est assez claire. Merci pour le site, je l'aime bien!

"Chaque année"

I don't understand why we use "année" instead of "an", it seems to me that according to the lesson below, we should be using "an".

An vs année, matin vs matinée, jour vs journée, soir vs soirée to express a time unit or a duration in French

"nous nous sommes fait faire les ongles"

Why is "fait" not "faites" that multiple females had their nails done?

Is complète an acceptable alternative to 'finit' ?

My understanding is that for a general comment, 'C'est' is used when followed by any determiner.

Mixed perfect & imperfect sentencesChoice of perfect vs imperfect in this sentence "Il a commencé à sourire aux gens qu'il croisait dans la rue" appears completely random - why not the other way round - or both the same tense? He meets people regularly but he only smiles irregularly? What an infuriating language!

Her Age

Edith Piaf lived from 1915-1963 (48 years) but unfortunately died before her 48th birthday. This article says she died at 49 but shouldn't it say 47?

To use ne or not to use ne in everyday conversation.

Hi, as I understand, the use of 'ne' in everyday 'street French' is gradually being omitted. Could you please clarify to what extent 'ne' is still used in this context.

Thank you
