In the last sentence, why is it "Bien que les années aient passé" instead of "Bien que les années soient passées" considering that passer is intransitive in this case? Thank you

Question on "Comment vous vous appelez?"

I am confused by the repeat of vous in this question and also in "Vous vous appelez M.Durand." Is this standard?

Des autres vs d'autres vs les autres

Okay?...So if you are speaking about "the" other options then des autres is correct? And if it is about other options then d'autres? Or if you are talking about specific options right in front of you is it then les autres? I sometimes think French was conceived in order to confuse all other non-native speakers! Please try again to explain.

Thank you.

'Ils ont été' In the example above this example seems a little misleading. Stated by itself, it seems as though it would be imparfait because it sounds to me that it could be describing a state of being in the past. Correct? In order to be passé composé wouldn't it have to describe an action with a clear ending? (after he canceled on them they were disappointed) ?

aimer v adorer

i learned that aimer is to love a person or animal but it means like for an object and if you want to love an object you use adorer eg j'adore le chocolat - i love chocolat. j'aime le chocolat - i like chocolat. Is this wrong?
