The English is "I have always wanted."  To me, this is a description of an ongoing feeling.  So I think "J'avais toujours eu."  The correct answer is given as "J'ai toujours eu"  To me this is a description of a single event.  Can anybody explain?  Thank you.

Why just "debut juillet" instead "au debut de juillet"?  Apparently I can't submit this question without more detail.  I don't know how much detail I can give.  It's a simple question

Puis vers vingt-deux heures trente,...

I used "Alors" instead of puis or one of the other possibilities.  

Why not alors?

The exercise uses « Mon parfum « 

Is parfum in this context « Flavor »? Is it appropriate to use the word saveur?

What is the difference between "pendant" and "durant"? They both mean "during". Can you use either one in a sentence?
