In the quiz there was this sentence:  By the time you were ready, the bus had already gone. We had to write the part up to the comma.

The answer given was Le temps que tu sois prête....  That to me translates as By the time you are ready, not were ready.  How would you write:  By the time you are ready the bus will be already gone.

I seem to remember having learned that the partitive article is not used to introduce the subject of a sentence.  Please comment. 

could you use lit matrimonial instead of lit double?

The sentence:

-J'aurais donc besoin de partir d'ici vers 4 h du matin.

Could the future simple be used equally here?:

-J'aurai donc besoin de partir d'ici ver 4 h du matin.

I wrote "Puis nous irons chez nous vers 16 heures", is that really wrong. I see that "rentrerons" is better, but is it wrong what i wrote?

As I understand it, dans can also be used when the sentence implies a future action but not duration? 

Hi, I thought that something in the past that continues to the present (and is still continuing) would take the imparfait, not the passé composé: Je voulais toujours essayer…

Hello, please can you explain why the computer gave the correct answer as étiez for the sentence:

Emile et toi étiez toujours poli.?   I am confused as I thought the iez ending was only used with vous. 

Sharing an observation (from KiwizIQ quiz answer): ‘faire du hockey’, not ‘faire de l’hockey’ so an exception to the silent ‘h’ rule.  I accept it (it sounds better; perhaps ‘hockey’ being a foreign word is relevant?).
