Le héros?I just realized that it's un héro but le héros. Is there a reason for that? Are there any other nouns that have different spellings for the same gender going from un to le? Thanks.

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.

Using the present tense like the past?

I've noticed a few examples of this in previous reading exercises where the present tense is used to describe the past. Ex "En France c'est Napoléon..." rather than, "En France, c'etait Napoléon...", even in the translation when you click on it translates that phrase in the present as 'In France it was Napoleon'. I can see that the following phrase uses the passé composé so I'm just not quite clear why those two phrases don't have to agree in their tenses?

Thanks :)
