me lèveI think "je me lève" should be translated as both "i wake up" and "i get up". Why do you consider "i wake up" as wrong answer?

Why is it not "J'ai habité DEPUIS cinq ans"?This is what I seem to recall having been taught at school (admittedly, a very long time ago!).

grand- agreement in gender and numberThere are many occasions in French where words have to agree with something else in the sentence. So far, it has been either agreement in *both* gender and number (e.g. conjugating passé composé with être) or no agreement (e.g. conjugating passé composé with avoir). But today I came across the plural of grand-parent: "grands-parents" with an "s" in the middle. Yet, your mother's mother is a "grand-mère", not a "grande-mère". Are there more situations where there is agreement in number but not in gender or vice versa?

"For lying" and "for having lied"?I guess this is more of an English question. What is the difference between "for lying" and "for having lied"?
