What is the meaning and use of 'que'?

In French, does à cette époque trigger the passé composé or the imparfait? I can´t remember. I was thinking it would trigger passé composé because, ´at that time', in my mind is a specific time frame. Or, is this triggering imparfait because it´s setting a scene? In this example, it said...'j'étais plein de doutes à cette époque. I´m guessing this is a reoccurring idea around that time.? My initial guess was j'étais because it sounded better in my ear, but I changed it to passé composé due to the à cette époque. Thoughts?

Hi,

I thought that "vieux" can be singular AND  plural but the quiz says it is only singular.

I have never seen  14.052 in English.  I missed this one but still don't understand what it means.  The French is 

14 052.

Is the following sentence correct?

Je ne comprends  rien.

 Sounds strange to me.

why don't you add more things like why don't you try to make levels and awards and you can earn things and play french games.

please think of that.

Please can you explain whether this still applicable when you are using conditional phrasing.  Instead of:

Je ne prétends pas que ce soit comme ça partout.

I don't claim it's like that everywhere

How would you say:  I don't claim that it would be like that everywhere

Does that still use the subjunctive?

Thank you.

Hi there,

I realize the rule is stated towards the beginning of the lesson, but I think an example would be very useful there, contrasting the use of aimer qqch meaning to love something with aimer qqch meaning to like something.

Elle aime sa nouvelle veste -- she loves her new jacket

Il aime son nouveau manteau -- he likes his new coat

As a side note, I really appreciate the distinction of change in meaning when the construction is interrogative :)

In the sentence: "We brushed our hair", should we write "Nous nous sommes brossé les cheveux" or "Nous nous sommes brossés les cheveux", please? Thank you.
