French language Q&A Forum

This exercise is broken into more audio files than usual. This means that each file is shorter, and this is very helpful as I listen to each section many times, usually just to hear a couple of difficult parts that I’m having trouble understanding. I thought it would be useful to let you have this feedback! :)

Why is "I've seen the neighborhood evolve" translated passé composé instead of imparfait?  "I've seen" describes something that happens over time and is not ended, it's continuous and I'm not done seeing.  Isn't that the case for imparfait?

It seems that they mean the same. Correct me if I am wrong

- Partir + de + a place = leave a place

- Sortir + de + a place = go out of a place

It would be great if a translation appears too! I have to use a translator to get an idea of what the words mean in context and its not always accurate or reliable. 

What is the role of 'd'ailleurs' in the above sentence? I am guessing it means 'anyway'. Thanks

I am still confused about les and leur objects

I remember hearing people sing a translation of Davy Crockett that included the line "l'homme qui n'a jamais peur."  Can't "the fearless Gaul" also be translated as "le Gaulois sans peur"? 

Apparaître follows the same pattern as connaître for the passé composé, (aître -> u), so not an exception. See -  https://conjugator.reverso.net/conjugation-rules-model-french/model-conna%C3%AEtre.html
