  Sarah ne faisait pas confiance à Thomas.

Sarah didn't use to trust Thomas.       In French can you really express the idea of “used to” (do something) just by using the past imperfect tense (as here)? Or does it need “avoir l’habitude de …” ? Is there a difference in meaning in French? Merci

Im just a bit confused since before i could always say Le ....... But now, they are correcting me, just because of the ''le''. 

This never happended before, please explain to me, why this is happening?

It appears that you have altered the sensitivity of the-- Next lesson box, in all exercices

A click used to operate from anywhere in the box - now only in the bottom area..

Would it be possible to make the whole box sensitive to a mouse click.

Thank you for help'

The sentence:

-J'aurais donc besoin de partir d'ici vers 4 h du matin.

Could the future simple be used equally here?:

-J'aurai donc besoin de partir d'ici ver 4 h du matin.

I used revenir for "coming home". Is this wrong? And when should we use each verb?

Thanks.

PS it's almost impossible to do À - it changes to à

In the listening exercise: Choisir ses études (A2), shouldnt the adjective fascinant be feminine  given its referent 'La Psychologie'?

The text in question.

Je vais étudier la Psychologie parce que je trouve ça fascinant.

Please advise. THanks

why for past we use -  j'avais du mal 

But future we don't use - j'aurai du mal 

and uses - je vais avoir du mal ?

In: “And if you need help, I will be happy to help you.” = “Et s'il te faut de l'aide, je serai heureuse de t'aider” I’m hearing “serai ‘z’ heureuse” as if the text were in fact “serais heureuse”. Are my ears deceiving me?

Bonjour,

merci beaucoup
