Est-il acceptable utiliser en avec quelqun (any) region/état/province? Salut! Au fin du leçon il dit "Note that en is also acceptable for reasons of pronunciation." Est-il acceptable utiliser 'en' avec tous les regions/états/provinces? Cela rendrait cette règle plus faciles à retenir!

Est-ce que je peux dire " Je m'assois mais tu t'assieds"? Must one pick one way for an entire essay, or paragraph or sentence? Or can one mix them up freely?

Past participles as adjectivesIn the example soyez decus, the past participle operates as an adjective . Are there any restrictions on this use? Is it possible to use any past participle that fits the bill?

Odile got dressed before having her breakfast. (le passé composé vs. l'imparfait)Why is "Odile got dressed before having her breakfast." translated as "Odile s'habillait..."? In my understanding this is a one-time action which happened in the past. It is, thus, a perfect candidate for the Passé composé: "Odile s'est habillée...", n'est-ce pas? -- Chris.
