What if the part after "depuis" requires l'imparfait or passé composé?Such as "Je joue du piano depuis j'avais six ans." Would it be more grammatically accurate to say, "Je joue du piano depuis l'âge de six ans."?

In this lesson, the placement of "bientot" is different. Is this interchangeable? Nous aurons bientôt une nouvelle voiture. Ils auront 20 ans bientôt.

Can you use aucun/aucune to shorten these sentences? Especially, if you are saing "neither". Could you use aucun/aucune with "ne" in front fo the verb: J'ai appelé Paul et Hadrien, mais aucun (or personne) n'a répondu." (I'm thinking now that aucun is about things not people? So, what about personne?)

What is the difference between belle and jolie? I had assumed that they both meant beautiful, but I guess I am wrong?
