ça a été ? I believe ça a été ? means how was it ? after an event. For example, a waiter in a restaurant might ask you when you are finished your meal 'ça a été?' Is ça a été the same as comment c'était ? Are they interchangeable and can you give me some other scenarios where ça a été would be used. Merci

n'importe quoi I am trying to understand n'importe quoi. I keep hearing French speakers say it but it is quite difficult to understand the meaning because it seems to depend on the context. I believe it is used in the following situations: Je fais n'importe quoi = I am messing about, similar to je déconne. Il dit n'importe quoi = He is talking rubbish If someone tells you something which seems quite farfetched, you could reply by saying N'importe quoi meaning 'Yeah right/ Whatever'. Please tell me if what I have proposed is correct and also if there are any other situations in which you can use n'importe quoi, n'importe qui, n'importe où Thanks

These are my attempts :Please correct them if I'm wrong and try and help me understand. Je ferai leur envoyer un petit cadeau. = I will have a small present sent to them. Tu me fais en colere. = You make me angry. Je fais venir me chercher mon père. = I am making my father come and collect me. Je ferai embrasser par elle. = I will make her kiss me. Je fais faire mes devoir par mon père. = I am getting my homework done by my father.

Soyez bonnes I think I heard this at the end of a speech in French. 'Soyez bonnes' I think it means 'be good' as in 'behave well'. If I heard this correctly why is it in the subjunctif ? Merci bien :)
