Bonjour Aurelie,

Je me demande si Enzo est votre propre fils ? Je peux vous imaginer dans sa chambre en train de lire ses livres ensemble !

Use of future tense... lorsqu'on visite un nouveau lieu.

I thought the future tense should be used after quand or lorsque. So, shouldn't this phrase be, lorsqu'on visitera un nouveau lieu.

Du instead of De

The question, "We come from Texas=Nous venons du Texas. How do I know which counties or regions or states are masculine. For example: We come from 'Alabama'. Is this masculine or feminine?

Merci!

Payer pour qqch vs. Payer qqch Is it possible to say « Le perdant paiera tous les verres »? I think I have heard the verb used this way before, but I could be wrong.

Passé simple

In level C1 why is there so much emphasis on passé simple? I would rather be practising useful phrases. Thank you.
