HI,

I was wondering there are two ways you can use to getting used to in a sentence. From my understanding would it be correct to use se Faire for the causative for having something done for someone just like the regular Faire causative? Also would you  use s'habituer for the most common?

Thank you

In the sentence 'Depuis la Révolution Française à la fin du XVIIIe siècle, l'architecture de Paris était restée essentiellement inchangée' why is the pluperfect 'était restée' used rather than the imperfect 'restait' ?

Hello, I was thinking whether the same rule applies to this expression above? 

Also, if you're talking about an already finished action, (for example: you hadn't lived somewhere in a long time, but now you started living there) would you modify the verb in the second part of the sentence (for example, "...que je n'ai pas habité" or "...que je n'habite pas") or the "fait" itself, in the first part (ex: ça faisait, ça a fait, etc) or maybe both? I was thinking about it, and I don't know which one is to use and in which case.

Thank you in advance for clarifying

why is it J'habite A Paris but J'habite EN France and AUX Etats- unis? what is the difference ?

The question was how would you write 78,005 in English.  It didn’t say how do you write this decimal number.  I wondered if it was but chose to go with thousands and not a decimal number because it was not specified.

I get that "Mes pieds sentent bon" means "My feet smell good."  So how would one say "My feet feel good"? 

Would it be "Mes pieds se sentent bien" ? I got confused because the subject is "mes pieds" not me. (?)
