Hi. Elsa eats and I buy.. Shouldn't you rather use the progressive form in the translations, Elsa is eating and I am buying, as the simple present  denotes habitual or repeated actions, as if Elsa were eating them every day and I buying new sheets daily ?

Hi! I was translating the sentence "Marie invited Julie to go to a concert. 

And the right answer was "Marie a invité Julie à un concert". 

Can I know the reason for which "à" and "un" are not contracted here please? 

Thank you in advance. 

I'm curious about the liaison in œufs en chocolat. I think I heard the F linked. I would likely have linked the S instead. Could you explain this please?

I answered that this word was not feminine, even tho it ends in -e, and was marked incorrect. A subsequent lesson noted that romantisme is an exception and is masculine. Please clarify, thank you
