bonjour!.

"Ils avaient fait..." 

"Il avait fait..." 

These two sentences sound same. Is there a way that we can understand the correct sujet?

l'année où Hitler est né....that would be a precise time an action took place, right? The lesson confirms that such a date would be an, not année.

Why is it not le sens d'humour? I understand that one uses the article when generalizing but how would this be different than fonctionnaire d'État,

for example...

The reason given for the imparfait in "mes mains n'arrêtait pas de trembler" is continuing action, but the lesson teaches that continuing action

would translate as: mes mains were not stopping trembling. I get very confused over this particular usage. Most of the use of imparfait that I get wrong are due to this rule. Could you explain it better?

Whe to use FA versus the Future with quand, lorsque, etc.

When they arrive, you will welcome them.  

One follows the other, why doesn't this use the FA?

The answer says that it used the Future.   Thx -- Bill --
