While the lesson is clear that the le passé composé is used here to use depuis for negation, I'm not sure how to ask the question that leads to this response:

For example: When was the last time you your mother saw you?

- Is it: Quelle était la dèrniere fois/Depuis quand ta mere t'a vu/te vois?

In either the case the answer would be in passé composé: for instance: Elle ne m'a pas vu depuis longtemps

Thanks!

Adjectives before nouns

In two places in this exercise the adjective precedes the noun. I don't understand why. Can someone explain? The situations were "L'imposant animal" and "riches plantations." Thanks.

Words which should be added to the vocabulary for this exercise!

Several words should be added to the vocabulary to be checked in advance of this exercise: la corvée, la lessive, l'aspirateur, tri des déchets, la poubelle et le lave-vaisselle.

These are not A1 level words!

Numbers in narrative equations

In the example 1 x 2 = 2, the translation given is « une fois deux égal deux. » I translate this as « one times two equals two. » Why is « une » used instead of « un» ? In contrast, I see that an another possible translation is « un multiplié par deux. »

Why use 'sont' not 'est' ?
