'Let's finish'/'Finish!'So if 'let's finish our homework' is 'finissons nos devoirs', what would 'finish our homework!' be? (As in you're telling else to do it) Merci!

Isn't the second half of this sentence conditional? Here's the sentence that you wrote: Nous avions pris nos places en avance mais nous n'avons pas pu y aller au final." Stated translation was: "We had taken our seats in advance but we could not go in the end." Wouldn't we use the conditional for the second half of that sentence: "...nous ne pourions pas y aller au final."

What about sentences that end with "non."In this context, is a sentence that ends with "non" (like "Tu as faim, non ?") considered a positive or negative question? I am guessing it is positive, and that an affirmative answer would be made with "oui" instead of "si."

What vs WhoIn my quiz question it began "Qu'est-ce que tu ....." and I answered "What .." but it showed the correct answer to begin with "Who .." I can't see how that is correct.

No liaison between "et" and "une"Why is the "t" in "et" silent when it precedes the vowel sound in "une" in ,"Je connais un homme turc et une femme turque."

Why is the "s" in "vois" silent in,"Dans un jardin public, je vois une ovation publique.".

depuis and ImparfaitI came across a sentence in a book where "depuis" was used along with the imparfait - can maybe you please confirm if it was used correctly? "Comme je ne faisais pas de bruit depuis un moment, maman est venue voir ce qui se passait." Merci d'avance!
