Regarding this example:

Nous étions restés bons amis, jusqu'à ce qu'il la rencontre.We'd remained good friends, until he met her.

...should it not be 

Nous étions restés bons amis, jusqu'à ce qu'il l'a rencontrée.

...?

I don't want to sound dumb, but are the adjectives you are using (excellent, magnifique) BAGS adjectives? Because I see you place them in front of the verb, when only BAGS adjectives do that, and I previously thought the only BAGS adjectives in the 'goodness' section were 'mauvais(e), bon(ne), meilleur(e), and gentil(le).' Thanks, May.

Pourquoi utilise-t-on le singulier pour traduire "in the mountains" mais le pluriel pour traduire "in the Alpes" alors que les deux sont pluriels en anglais? 

Can't a simple "Le" be used in place of "Chaque"

I am a little confused with the section 'gift you a 15 euro voucher'; in English we would say give you a 15 euro gift voucher, which then seems to translate more literally into the french equivalent in the text. Why has it be phrased gift you a ...?

I'm looking at the "Manon n'a pas eu a payer" as the translation of the English "Manon didn't have to pay."  This translates literally but is it correct French.  I would think "Manon didn't have to pay" would be something like "Manon n'a pas du a payer."
