Hi. The perfect tense rather than the past tense?

Hi.' Mademoiselle Rose, vous êtes devenue une charmante jeune fille' translates as: M. Rose, you became a charming young lady. Wouldn't the perfect tense: you have become ' be better here if this is a direct comment to Miss Rose?

Why is the weekday pluralized at " tous les mercredis? "I was taught earlier that you're not allowed to pluralize weekdays like that. Is it because of the tous les structure? Also, I think it'd help if the lesson advised you to pretend the subject pronoun is there before the verb but after the person name to make conjugating easier: " Jean and I, we went to the cinema = Jean et moi (nous) sommes alles au cinema. "

Sometimes French just uses moi, not moi-même. What about that?Take this sentence: " Je veux bien le garder pour moi... " instead of, moi-même. I saw this in a French game.

In English: We use subject pronouns, really? Didn't know that.

My daughter and they play together.

I thought it was, " them, " not, " they, " in English. I'm confused. I'd use Hugo and them, never Hugo and they. Huh?
