Asking a person who is married how long they've been married (and still are): Vous êtes vous mariés depuis 30 ans? (Past tense so does this mean they're no longer married?) or, should you say, Vous êtes mariés depuis 40 ans? (still married).

This always trips me up so thank you ahead of time for your help!

What about the verb "faiblir".

Hey! Sorry, could you explain how I can conjugate "faiblir"? Is it an irregular one?

Asking a question that leads to this negation, which tense to use here = ' Past/Present

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!

Subjonctif passé for "jusqu'à ce que"?

Could you say "jusqu'à ce que j'aie trouvé la personne" instead of "jusqu'à ce que je trouve la personne"?
