Hi, help with quand v lorsqueCan you please help? I have just had « Je rentrerai lorsque il sera parti » marked as incorrect. The correct answer being « Je rentrerai quand il sera parti ». I had thought that quand and lorsque were interchangeable in this sense. Would appreciate some help.

Can we omit 'ne' when we use 'plus' ? For example, 'je sais plus' means 'I don't know anymore'?

Conjugate faire in le passé simpleSo in working a C1 kwiz, this question arose: «Ce jour-là, tu me fis le plus beau cadeau. (That day, you gave me the most beautiful gift.) HINT: Use le Passé Simple of 'faire'» The translation is shown: «you gave me. . . » ---> while I understand the lesson was on «faire» in the passé simple, it seems that the translation would be along these lines: --> That day, you MADE me the most beautiful gift. Is there a use of «faire» that means «give or gave»? Merci en avance.

Cela étant dit = That being said?One of the test questions was to translate "That being said" to French. Is "Cela étant dit" a correct translation? It was not accepted as such, but some web searching shows that at least other people think that one is correct in addition the official answer "cela dit".
