Then why is "nous nous sommes brossé" correct? shouldn't it be "brosses"????
One of he correct answers to "We're going to have to hurry then!" was - "- Nous allons devoir nous dépêcher alors ! " Shouldn't that be nous se dépêcher? Or nous nous dépêcher? Se dépêcher = to hurry, dépêcher = to dispatch?
Selon Grevisse, on n'est pas obligé d'accorder "on" au féminin ou au pluriel quand le sujet est bien défini et féminin ou pluriel (voire les deux).
Il va leur téléphoner.He's going to telephone themIl va appeler ses parents. -> Il va les appeler.He's going to call his parents. -> He's going to call them.
In these above examples, why are both the direct and indirect object pronouns placed in between the verbs instead of in front of both of them?
Merci.
In the sentence below the verb emmener is used, however doesn't that give the impression that her mother stayed with her daughter to watch the film? Whereas the english text says that she watched the film with her best friend. Given the context and thinking retrospectively, I guess her mother would have stayed with her to watch it, but it's a little ambiguous (she could have just dropped her off at the cinema).
I used amener instead of emmener, but that wasn't given as an option.
j'avais dû casser les pieds à ma mère pendant des semaines pour qu'elle m'emmène voir "Amélie" avec ma meilleure amie Lola.

Just wondering why the passé composé is used in this phrase. Thanks for your response.
Can anyone explain this; la diane means reveille as well as a name
"Nous _____ monter au troisième étage," is translated as We ___ go up to the third floor [US: second floor],
But, I think you meant to translate it as [US: fourth floor]
La voiture ______(de/du) Mme deshmukh est Chére
