Tomorrow, I'll see things more clearly.

Question is you haven't lived here long?

I answered tu n'as pas habilité ici depuis longtemps as per the explanation leçon un négatif sentence i should use passé composé

But  kwiziq is saying right answer is 

Tu n'habites pas ici depuis longtemps

Please explain

Why is 'rejoint ' used in the question: Qui te rejoint...? or  'vient' in Qui Vient manger?  Can any other conjugation of the verb be used? 

J'ai entendu dire qu'Isabelle allait aussi tenter sa chance à Paris.

Hi, what is the use of dire? Can't we just say "J'ai entendu qu'Isabelle....

Thank you :)

I have read the lesson and the questions and answers below.  From what I can tell, Leila finit sa soupe tres vite should indicate in passe simple that Leila finished her soup very fast.  The lesson indicates that the context of the question should indicate which tense is being used; there is no apparent (to me, at least) context that would suggest that she is finishing her soup quickly (present tense rather than passe simple).  To have given both answers suggests that we should use both because each is possible, which confuses me.  I've read and re-read the answers and I'm still not entirely certain that I understand the logic here.  Please help!!

In this lesson on “venir de “ , you use the following as example 8:

Je suis de La Rochelle
I'm from La Rochelle

Why is it “Je suis de” instead of  “Je viens  de”?
