for "mardi prochain"?  the quiz asks about mardi prochain.  I fully understand using the present for near future.  got it.  But "next Tuesday" is not so "near" that the future tense should be wrong! at least both options should be right.

Hello. Can you please explain why is le passé composé used in the first sentence?

"Mon frère et moi avons toujours aimé les jeux vidéos."

I thought this should be in l'imparfait because it describes a habit in the past and not something that just happened for a day, no?

Hi I'm Christa. Bonjour, je m'appelle Christa. Is this the right way to say specifically where I live?

In the test, I got the following question

"Elle a mangé tout le gâteau !" means:

- She is eating all the cake!

- She ate all the cake!

- She is going to eat all the cake!

- She has eaten all the cake!

- She had eaten eat all the cake!

Could you please explain why we you believe 'she has eaten all the cake' is correct but not 'she had eaten all the cake'? How would we say she had eaten all the cake in French and why is this not passé composé?

The end of the passage states, "d'ici trois jours ouvrables" or "dans", but the English phrase to translate is "within" so should en not be used instead of dans? En being within and dans being similar to after ex number of days. 

In one of quiz’s question it asks something like qu’est cet homme? And the answer is ; c’est (name of the person). I was wondering if we can say “il est…” instead of c’est. Since its asking about a particular person and while studying “il/elle est” it says if its asking about a specific thing we should use it. I need a bit clarifications please.
