Difference between brouillard & brumeux?Besides brouillard being a noun and brumeux being an adjective, how are the two different? It says in the lesson that there is no adjective for brouillard (fog), but a search on word reference shows that brumeux means foggy. How come it says there is no adjective for brouillard then?

In a writing challenge - I'll be five minutes at most.

In "I can't find my shirt!" this sentence -I'll be 5 minutes at most.- was translated as - J'en ai pour 5 minutes maximum.-

Can someone explain this translation? Is it an expression?  I am not familiar with this construction. My translation was "Je reviens dans cinq minutes au maximum." Would this translation be acceptable?

Could you highlight one line a bit more? "Present nous form" in l'imparfait... I keep forgetting that part.....I have recently become addicted to this site, and I'm filling in all of the gaps in my self learning. One thing has tripped me up more than once... Using the "present nous form" in l'imparfait.  I know it's already in bold font, but could you highlight that line in color with stars and big arrows around it??   :P  Thanks for a GREAT site!
