The exercise gives " c'était la boulangerie de Madame Poitier." I tried "Il était...." because we're discussing a specific building. (The grammar lesson on c'est & il/elle est suggests using "il/elle" for specific things). Is there some wriggle room on this one or was I just plain wrong?

The lesson for "lire" shows an example of "the people read"= on lit

I think the example of the people elect the prime minister should be les gens elit??

Hello everyone, 

So, I do know that when it comes to emotions, you're going to use the imparfait. But what about if it's a one-time thing? For example: I saw her yesterday at the supermarket and she was very upset. 

It's a one-time thing and maybe it lasts a little bit, and she'll be over it quickly. Would you still use the imparfait?

Bit of clarification please:-

- Isn't 'I pass by the new coffee shop' better translated by 'passe par' ? The exercise on Passer  gives -Passer par / devant ...   (to pass by / in front of...)

- does not 'J'aime' mean 'I love' and wouldn't 'J'aime bien 'I like' be better in this instance? (the excercise on Aimer says 'Note that when using aimer bien, it actually lessens its meaning from 'to love' to 'to like' [someone] / [something].'

I've heard that both ceux(and all of its forms) and lesquels(and all of its forms) means the one. So, how do you differentiate? For example: Eva aime mes biscuits mais déteste ceux de sa tante. 

Hello, do I understand correctly that en is used here because there are two object pronouns?  Pierre m'en a offert.

Hey! I answered a question (correctly) and in the results, they said I had unanswered it? What is going on with these tests? Hope you answer soon!

Hello! When I went through this question (very carefully), I noticed that 'une' was actually 'a', not 'the', so I missed it out. But, as the results came in, the test said that I had selected 'une', and that i didn't select the answer 'le'! What's happening?! I don't understand.

Est-ce qu'on peut utiliser le voisinage au lieu de quartier dans ce contexte ?
