In the expression "une vraie histoire," is there any implication that the elaborate story is untrue? In English, "quite a story" can suggest that the audience might doubt the truth of the story. Is there any of that implied in French?

Je n’ai jamais aimé le goût de la viandeHello. In your week 26 A2 writing test the above line is given as a correct translation of 'I've never liked the taste of meat.' As this lesson shows I believe there may be an error here. In this context the verb describes an ongoing state of affairs, without a set start and without a set finish, (if indeed this state does end.) Unless I'm mistaken I believe this would be better expressed in the imparfait. I'd love some clarification here if possible. Thanks!

Avant que vs Avant de

What is the difference between the usage of 'avant que' + subjonctif and 'avant de' + indicatif? Are there certain situations where can only use one or the other?

CP VS le subjonctif? Hey! I was wondering if one could sometimes replace the conditionnel passé with the subjonctif, and vice versa. This because the CP also technically deals with "judged" (you should have done x" situations?

Kwiziq vs DALFHello, I was wondering how close the questions on the Kwizzes are to the actual DALF C1 exam. I am testing at C1 level and was curious to what degree it would prepare me for the actual exam. Thanks. Nelson
