My best friend Pierre, who until last year shared a 2-bedroom apartment with me in Paris,

Mon meilleur ami Pierre, qui jusqu'à l'année dernièrer partageait un appartement de deux chambrtrois-pièces avec moi à Paris

Why can't I use l'annee derniere here?? the grammar doesn't explain! 

Thanks guys... can't do accents on this page

Bonjour!

I think that the bolds to the above paragraphe on conjugation is a bit tricky. I am corying it below

je me / m' 

tu te / t'

il, elle, on se / s'                          + verb conjugated in the right form

nous nous

vous vous

ils, elles se / s

"Je, il, elle, on" must not be in bold. Because they are bold I thought that I could use them in the reflexive form.

Merci

I haven't had an answer to my query re Chris' explanation, I last wrote ' The English version of this sentence is 'By the time he packed' so the answer should be 'ait fait' or the english should be 'by the time he packs' in which case the french should be  ' she will already be gone' ' I now have a further query about 'By the time you were ready, the bus had already gone'. Surely 'By the time you were ready' is in the past? Is this an example of the difficulty of translating English into French? Do we not have an equivalent tense?

Alors, pourquoi utilise-on "avoir" au lieu de "être" avec courir, qui est un verb de mouvement?

The first words I learned in French were the first words in my very first French textbook: 

J'entre dans la salle de classe. Je regarde autour de moi. 

Thank you for accepting that as an alternative answer.
