When do I use j'ai or je suis because they both mean the same thing so I don't know when's the time to use which I have

If 'Je suis monté en voiture' means 'I got into the car', how does one say (if visiting someone on a hill and they asks how you got there) 'I came up by car ?
Surely that is also 'Je suis monté en voiture'.....

Hi!

I don't want the tips that appear in the fill-out-the-blanks exerceises. Can I choose to turn them off?

Thanks for any help! :)

Why is it "Mes fils ont toujours adoré cette tradition" ? If the tradition is ongoing with no start and finish should not the 'imparfait' be used here?

I am confused because I thought 2nd and 3rd verbs were always spelled out in full so i put aller here.

Hi, 

From the quiz:

What are the ways to UNAMBIGUOUSLY say "It is three fifteen PM." ?

Il est quinze heures et quart. - was marked as a wrong answear and I really don't understand why...

Is there any difference in meaning/nuance/register between

'Ce magasin est fermé de deux heures à deux heures et demi'

and

'Ce magasin est fermé entre deux heures et deux heures et demi'? 

I think I tend to use the latter more often, and I'm now wondering whether it's incorrect, or makes me sound odd.

Quand est-ce qu'on utilise "pendant que" avec le subjonctif?

Plural uncountable noun

How do you know when to use égale vs égal?
