J’adore Kwiziq depuis que je l’ai découvert et je remercie toute l’équipe pour leur travail acharné. MAIS je m’étonne beaucoup de ce que les fautes faites par les contributeurs ne soient pas corrigées par quelqu’un de plus compétent. Par exemple ce matin, j’ai lu avec horreur la phrase: » je seraiS rentré chez moi quand je t’appeLerai. ». Je m’inquiète pour ceux qui ne sont pas français.

le passe simple

When i learned French in my youth ( I am now 91), the passe simple was called the Past Definite in English, is that still so ? We were also told that its use was confined to literature and it was not used otherwise. Is that correct ?

On vs nous

Why did it change from "on" to "nous" in the last sentence? Is it just more common with commands?

Please explain this meaning

Hi, I don't understand the meaning of this sentence, "Je suis déjà passé chez le pharmacien mais les anti-douleurs qu'il m'a donnés n'ont malheureusement fait aucun effet."

Does "passé chez le pharmacien" mean to actually stop in and consult with the pharmacist, rather than simply passing by the store? This would indicate that passer has more complex meaning in this type of situation. Please advise.

Negative emotions

Good exercise, but it reminds me to ask, could we have more topics about the darker sides of life? I feel that because the exercises are very strongly weighted towards positive scenarios there’s a whole dimension of human experience that I’m not learning the vocabulary and phrases for. Thanks.

Using 'En' before specific day + prochainMardi prochain, elle va à un concert.Next Tuesday, she is going to a concert.Next Tuesday, she is going to a concert.

The correct answer given above, why is 'En' not used when the lesson notes says that 'En' should be used for specific day followed by 'prochain'. Is that rule different in this case as putting the 'En' would sound weird.
