Why is "arrivé" femine?For the below sentence, is it not the baby (masculine) the subject to the verb arriving? Why is it conjugated in the feminine form? - c'est-à-dire que nous sommes dans la dernière ligne droite avant l'arrivée tant attendue de notre premier enfant

Thanks.

Noun endings

Bonjour, 

For the word culture the book says it should be masculine but the ending as a feminine ending ure so shouldn't it be feminine?


Thanks

Nicole

Fun song!

Merci Aurelie. This was a really fun and uplifting song to listen to. Great listening practice. You are right - it is a bit fast, but I was able to follow along while reading the lyrics. Actually, the first two lines were the hardest to understand - I'm not even sure what it means in English to 'redden the tea in Amman's souks'!

Loved watching everyone draw their colorful images, too.

Imperfect used for a one-time action...?

In this sentence - 'William Jones déclarait au sujet de cette langue ancestrale : "La langue sanscrite...' - why is the imperfect used with an action that happened only once, and on a specified date ?

qui me gâchaient la vie vs qui gâchaient ma vie

Bonjour forum et des experts

Je pose une question au sujet de la clause subordiné, 'qui me gâchaient la vie depuis des années'. 

N'est-il pas également correcte de dire le même chose  sans  pronominal, 'qui gâchaient ma vie depuis des années'.?

When does the past participle change spelling?

Why has 'Mort' as the past participle of Mourir changed spelling to 'mour' ? I understand adding the 's' to make it match. 

Even in the 'learn & discuss; section, it show the past participle as 'mort'. is this an error ?
