I have probably changed the translation by thinking of “my company” as “my firm” (which is what i say in everyday English in this situation) and using “ma société”, but i’ve always been unsure of une société vs une entreprise vs une compagnie. Can this be clarified for once and for all !!?

Normally I have used the preposition à before a city, as in je vais à Paris.  You don't use au Paris.  In this exercise, we have a city with a plural name, namely Les Sables d'Olonne.  Apparently, one must use aux Sables d'Olonne in stead of à Les Sables d'Olonne.  So, is this a general rule: à + name of a singular city and aux + name of a plural city name?

partitive article doesn't change with etre verb 

Vous etes des menteurs 

Vous n'etes pas des menteurs 

Are these sentences correct or not? 

My apologies for having multiple questions on this lesson. It is not that the lesson is unclear. It is that the two test questions that test the understanding of the lesson are awkward if not downright counter productive to reinforcing the lesson.

For example: the lesson states that when  'avoir + descendu'  is used with an animated being as the object then it means to kill/shoot that being. Unless the test question really means that Jack took the giant's dead body(and hence no longer animated (LOL) ) downstairs then it is misleading and confusing. In English "to take someone downstairs" simply means to usher them to your basement.
