Re: Doubt in Concordance des Temps

Past of the past - Le Plus-que-parfait

Bonjour Madame Cécile !

J’avais dû en racheter un nouveau après que Patrick avait cassé le mien.

This sentence is an example from a lesson. Here, plus-que-parfait has been used in both the verbs. Though the action of breaking took place first and then came the necessity to buy a new one.

Would you like to explain how these two cases can be both Le plus-que-parfait ? Here, one action precedes the other so can one be in Passé Composé and other in Le Plus-que-Parfait ?

Bonjour Chris

Elles ________ pendant tout le film !" They will have chatted during the whole film!HINT: Conjugate "bavarder" in Le Futur Antérieur

The correct answer was Elles auront bavarde pendant tout le film.

Why does bavarder here not agree in gender and number? Or am I missing something?

Please help, I have struggled with lesson for awhile now.

Le siècle ________ la bombe H et les antibiotiques ont été inventés est le XXème siècle.

I had written 'dans lequel', but received a wrong answer.

In reading the lesson, it stated that after a noun 'dans lequel/le' can be used instead of 'où'.

Why is 'où' the only answer here?

thank you. Jennifer
