I have great difficulty in deciding whether to use l'imperfait or parfait in translations and am surprised to see that both are acceptable in the sentence 'He wrote beautiful lyrics'. The imperfect is the preferred translation but the perfect is given as an alternative translation.

The answer is reported as "les." But I used "en" because of the previous reference to "des cadeaux" and the following reference to "tous achetes." Would this be correct as well, or, if not, why is it wrong?

The sound is not clear.  I cannot follow the song.

Why is "de vernis" used in this sentence and "du vernis" in the following sentence ? I thought it was a masculine noun, ie du vernis

1. In the numbers test, quatre-cent-cinq was a correct answer. We don't use cinque for numbers above 100?

2. In the lesson you have deux-cents (with a hyphen), and cinq cents (no hphen). Is cinq cents an exception to the hyphenation rule?

Is this 19th century England? Just say "women."

Which one is correct ( pour que tu pars or pour que tu partes ?) just as it is nothing else surrounding those 4 words.

Thank you 

I'm pretty sure that the quiz got the question on "vert" wrong.  Could you please check that out?  

In the last sentence, why is the verb form used, nous ne serons pas pris, instead of, nous ne prendrons pas. I'm not sure what this verb tense is.

I thought the feminine of neuf was nouvelle, but it seems to be neuve. Can you explain please?
