Is there anything wrong with «il commençait à lister tous les poissons» for translation of 'he started listing all the fish' or 'he started to list all the fish'? It seems a more direct translation and grammatically correct, (I think).
Doe the "de" relate to the verb promettre or to payer?
Why is je découpais dans les magazines in the imperfect? For me it seems like an action and should be in passé composé.
At the end, could you say "Ça fait dix ans que je suis un prof" ?
Could someone please clarify the rule for choosing between à laquelle and de laquelle in a sentence such as:
"The girl I'm thinking of is Isabelle." : La fille ________ je pense est Isabelle. "
I understand that they both translate "about/of whom" but they are not interchangeable.
Thanks in advance!

Is there any similarity in use between se rappeler and the English word recall? In other words, is it the case that a sentence in French using 'se rappeler' would be better translated using the word 'recall' than 'remember'?
E.g. why not say Oui maman, il est sur la plage derrière ?
Merci!
