Why is this wrong? We were driving in Paris when ... It seems like the perfect use of this structure. You suggest using the imparfait for conduire vs en train de. Why?

Unlike other explanatory lessons in Lawless French, I find this lesson incredibly difficult to understand.(And. I think I'm a decent student!) I'd like to recommend that you all give it a big cleansing edit. And now, I'll go back and re-read it (for about the fourth time) and try to figure out what I'm supposed to learn.

I always thought the "f" was pronounced in "oeufs", but in the video she does not pronounce the ending. Are both forms possible?

Does s’en aller take the future proche? In other words, are “je m’en vais” and “je vais m’en aller” both correct ways of saying “I am leaving”? And if so, are they completely interchangeable, or do they have different senses or nuances?
Thank you!
I thought you always used the "ne + subjonctif" construction after "avant que"
Pourquoi elle trouve Andrew charmant ? Pourquoi pas elle trouve qu'Andrew est charmant ?
So if venir de + infinitive means to have just done something, why has ‘juste’ been introduced in the sentence “Je viens juste d’emménager”. It sounds a bit like “i’ve just just moved”.
According to Cecile's response and Lawless French there should be an 'S' with quatre-vingts. If so, this lesson may need a tweak!
