It's always "que," and not "qui" when referring to a person or persons?

Choosing a tenseI am wondering about the once upon a time a king lived in a castle. Can this be more than one tense. If it is a story concerning a king who lived in the castle, then it is imperfect. What if it is about kings in general once upon a time a king lived in a castle, now he lives in a council house. Does the tense still have to be imperfect, or could it be that that situation is completely changed and it could be past historic. A bit confused.

Were or Are?"Au cas où vous vous demanderiez où elle est, elle est allée au marché." Sorry if this sounds a silly question, but does the above translate... in case you are wondering or were wondering?

Des pommes ?Hi there, another question from me about articles. In the example above, "J'aime seulement les pommes", does this not refer to "the apples" versus apples in general. I thought one would use "des pommes" in this case. Merci, Kathy

Pire or plus mauvais?I don't think the examples given have explained the difference between these two forms. I think I read somewhere that pire was more for abstract things. Is this right? What is the difference between an accent and results?
