Il remporte un succés immédiat auprès du public. This sentence is translated to 

Where is the past tense coming from why is the original not in passé composé? 

This sentence ending with “où” to me sounds unfinished. Is this considered informal speech? I feel like “où” is serving as a conjunction here… Is this a fixed phrase? Like the rest of the sentence is implied or used to be stated and now it dropped? For example, something like “…au cas où (il me faudrait)”

Why are both of these correct:

"Je n'ai vu Mathieu nulle part." [ne + nulle part]

"Il n'est jamais allé nulle part." [ne + jamais + nulle part]

But not this:

"Je n'ai pas vu Mathieu nulle part." [ne + pas + nulle part]

Maintenant or désormais? Also I keep making a mistake with prepositions please let me know I put “couvert de la sueur”.

Is there a mistake in the video at approximately the 1:08 mark? The example says:

Je mange une pomme and Tu *parle* à Marie. Shouldn't it be Tu *parles* à Marie?

If reflexive verbs always use the auxiliary verb 'etre', why is it 'Quand elle m'a embrassé' and not 'Quand elle m'est embrassé' 

I used revenir for "coming home". Is this wrong? And when should we use each verb?

Thanks.

PS it's almost impossible to do À - it changes to à
