I got this question:
How would you say "You went out even though I wasn't OK with it." ?
And I answered with this:
Tu es sortie bien que je n'étais pas d'accord.
Apparently the right answer was Tu es sortie bien que je ne suis pas d'accord, but I don't understand why je ne suis pas d'accord is in the present tense.
To me that sentence means "You went out even though I'm not OK with it.", as in "I'm not ok with in general", but the way the English sentence is written in the question means that the speaker wasn't ok about a particular going-out. Why would one use the present tense there even though the "not being ok with it" was done in the past?
Please would you explain why the use of juste seems quite arbitrary, in some of your examples it’s there, but not in others.
Thank you
One of the things that continues to confuse me is when to use à , sur, dans when working with dates ( dans l’après midi - ) , sur La Canebière. Etc because sometimes they use au, à la and they are correcting me . Is there a lesson I can review to clarify this?
mine is the James se présente and
Entretien avec un vampireAu lieu de dire "le guide sera suivi par les enfants" puis-je dire "le guide va être suivi par les enfants"?
Why we mix the "tu" and "vous" in one sentence?

"on aurait dit un savage" translates to it looked like a savage, but I'm unsure of the rule for that. Is there a lesson on this?
