- i was told that it is always autour DE (by a french conversation teacher), Is this something that is so commonly used incorrectly that it has become acceptable over time? (in one of your examples, and in others from other sites, it is autour DE LA lune, or autour DU monde.)
In the following example......Elle m'a récompensé pour ________ à la gym.
She rewarded me for going to the gym........Who is doing THE action that determines the past participle agreement?Can this structure be used with futur proche? (is this considered a compound tense?)
Eg. We are only going to buy one toy. ——> Nous n’allons que acheter un jouet.
Or do we use futur simple (this is a simple tense?) ——> Nous n'achèterons qu'un jouet.
