My question concerns the imparfait conjugation of the verb 'exister' in the sentence:

Aussi, lorsque j'ai appris qu'il existait un musée qui...

I would like to know if conjugating here in the imparfait (existait) does not imply that the museum used to exist, but no longer does.  I am inclined to want to conjugate 'exister' in present tense to get around this problem, yet I know its gramatically incorrect to do so. If someone can help, I would greatly appreciate.

Have a good day all :)

How to make sure your translations  are correct in English to French

Hello,

Would you kindly explain the "en ferait rougir plus d'un"? I am not sure what the speaker is saying about Damien. Is she implying that Damien has a way on making someone blush (with embarrassment perhaps)? 

Merci!

The text says "Note that in each case where être is the auxilliary, the verb passer is followed by a preposition (en, sur, dans, à etc.).  "

But then we have the example "Elle est passée chez Laurent hier"

Surely "chez laurent" is a noun?

difference?   when used?

Pourquoi dit on ce n'est pas au lieu de dire elle n'est pas une voiture électrique ?

Merci 

Pourquoi la phrase avec des cocotiers manque t-Elle les partitifs (avec des cocotiers, du sable), or is it because it is like a dream 'aah, cocotiers, sable banc, cocktails
