Hello Felin and

Comme j'étais le seul à avoir donné cette réponse pour la 3ème phrase, je pensais avoir fait une erreur d'interprétation. Ouf! Dur pour les autres!!!

Pour la 9ème phrase les temps sont différents. Pouvez-vous préciser lequel doit être utlisé? Merci d'avance.

Magma!

J'ai tout simplement pensé que la personne voulait mettre l'accent sur la durée de son trajet et non pas sur le fait qu'elle avait vécu à Paris.
Ce n'est peut-être pas la bonne explication J'ai peut-être tout simplement eu de la chance. C'est vrai que nous sommes le 13!!
Zut, je n'ai pas joué au loto!!
