Is nul the same as using n’importe quoi? C’est nul ! Duo allows it. Thanks. 

“You are reading the instruction manual”. Why should this not be “en train de lire” instead of a present indicative conjugation?

I don't understand why we can't use the 

when there is no reference to a duration of time. For example "during that year the letters had been sent"??? This sentence seems like it was a one time action. ???

To describe "Snow falls" ot just "Heavy snowfall", which verb should we use:

tomber or chuter?

What are the subtle or not-so-subtle differences between these two verbs?

Why is "objectif" not a good translation for "goal" here, and under what circumstances might one use it instead of "but"? 

Is it possible for purposes of emphasis to write or say "Allons-y à Paris" or should I just say 'Allons à Paris.'  Perhaps I could write 'Allons-y...à Paris'

Je préférerais être une sorcière!

J'adorerais être un loup-garou!

Je serais un seigneur de la nuit!

En tant que creature nocturne ...

... se transformer en monstre

How to know if an article would precede an identity or not? Thanks
