Does habiter need a prepositionIn my book 501 French verbs it teaches that the verb habiter doesn't require a preposition so, J'habite cette maison, is acceptable.

Is "J'habite à [city] an exception? Is "J'habite [city]" acceptable?

when to use aimer/adorerI'm still struggling to get my head around the nuances of aimer and adorer, even though I have read through the lesson a number of times. Can anyone suggest a useful additional resource to help me?

I am confused now - I did not know that "had been doing" something translates into regular Imparfait?

Expletive "ne"

For

J'ai eu peur que nous ________ trop tard

I answered "ne soyons arrivés" but this was marked wrong. "Soyons arrivés" was given as corrrect.

Am I missing something with the expletive "ne" (which I do find a bit confusing!) Could you explain?

Thanks in advance,

Ian

Sorry again. The second sentence has only “dîner” without the “le”. Is there a reason for that?
