This line was in a song "la liste" by Rose.  Does this sentence mean to sit for the permit test, or to pass it?

What about haut/haute (high) and bas/basse (low) ? Do they come before a noun or after?

In a recent fill in the blank test, it asked for “pencil”. I’ve always been taught that it is “crayon “, but the test required “crayon [à ]. papier” ( sorry, my memory fails me about the à part ).  When did crayon become insufficient?   It was probably one of the first French words I learned! 

You use rapidement = vite = fast in another question !!!

Why is « ils sont passées »correct when one says « They passed the morning bringing eggs.. » Isn’t « to pass the morning » or «  to pass the weekend » a transitive use of the verb, therefore « avoir »?

The translation for "C'est deux anciennes maison..." is "There are two old houses."

According to the lesson "ancien=former/old," when "ancien" comes before the noun, it means "former."

Is there a situation when "ancien" comes before the noun, and it means "old"?

I don't understand the introduction of 'n' in 'avant qu'il n' arrive'.Can you please explain.
