Hi, could you say a few words about “qui que ce soit”. Is this a special construction of some kind?

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

I don't understand why these are both correct, but one's in the passe compose and the other is in the imparfait.

En 2004, j'avais de l'argent.
In 2004, I had money.

En 1815, Napoléon a perdu la bataille de Waterloo.
In 1815, Napoleon lost the battle of Waterloo.

Is it because Napoleon only lost the battle one time, but we can assume I had money for the whole of 2004.

It is somewhat reassuring to find so many others have found this confusing! Hope it is reviewed soon. Needs clarification and simplification, and use of standard symbols to replace unspecified letters. I always do the lesson first and then check the comments - this is one of those that makes me think I should read the comments first. When can a review be expected?

Bonjour!

Nous prenons le métro le matin.

Je suits fan des or de films...?

I'm being a bit pedantic but in English the first phrase is not

If I was rich I would go to Japan

that grammar is incorrect because it's conditional and it should be

If I were rich I would go to Japan

I wrote "et on avait trop bu pour me mettre au volant" but there was only one option  which was "on avait trop bu pour que je prenne le volant". Why is the first expression not an additonal option?
