Why do you use the passe simple here (tu agis for 'you were acting') instead of "tu as agi" or "tu agissais" ?

/ Can we get some example sentences that illustrate this ?

Your lesson says negative sentences using depuis use passé composé yet when I do that  your corrections use the present

Bonjour,

Is this sentence correct: je ne cours pas du tout pour faire du sport? When to add the pour+infinitif? Example, when you add pour in the example above: Pauline ne veut pas du tout pour dormir -> will mean the same thing as without pour, won't it?

Appreciate all the help! 

Merci :)

I don't understand how "Marie a manqué l'école" means "Marie didn't go to school". There isn't aller in the sentence so how does that work?

Are the expressions "à la fin de" and "au bout de" interchangeable or are they used in different contexts?

When do one use là when talking about "here" because most times I see people write je suis là which they mean "i am here" , but i thought là means there

Explique-le moi stp

Salut,

For the sentence "et les jeudi et vendredi, j'avais mes cours de danse moderne," my "et" is being red-lined and replaced with the English "and" in blue. Not sure if others are experiencing the same problem. Kinda threw me for a loop. Haha.
