In the lesson it states: "A rarer occurence is when ainsi que is followed by a conjugated verb (in the Indicative) to express (just) as", however, the example uses the Imparfait:

"Tout se passe ainsi que je l'avais prévu."

There would seem to be a mismatch here ... could you please shed some light on this?

regards, Scott

I thought I would see a reference to the phrase everyone would know in this lesson, namely «s’il vous plaît»

haïr vs détesterWhat is the difference between haïr and détester? Couldn't I just as easily say Je te déteste and so on? Is one "stronger" than the other.

question from quiz: “ commencerions” (out of context!)

correct answer is:

“Nous commencerions à cinq heures si nos patrons nous laissait faire”.

Pourquoi pas: “si nos patrons nous laissait LE faire”.?

This sentence in the writing challenges had me fooled: Mon meilleur ami Pierre, qui jusqu'à l'année dernière partageait un trois-pièce avec moi....My thought was the jusqu'à means the action ended, and thus, I used the passé composé. I realized it had been a habit, but how does one know what to do when more than one rule applies?
