Hi
The English translation of the sentence "Le jour suivant, Ali Baba retourna à la grotte" is Ali Baba returned to the cave the following day. I don't understand why you used future simple instead of passe compose? Thank you.
Wouldn't on y va also be translated as let's go?
How come, in the final sentence of this exercise, the past subjunctive is not used following "Rien que"? Instead, it was the passé composé.
In my French - Japanese dictionary, there is an explanation of the usage of «passer» (verb intransitive), the example there says «J’ai passé à l’écrit (= I passed the writing exam)», whereas Kwiziq explains that 'in French, «passer» never means 'to pass an exam'.
So, practically, «passer» in French also means 'to pass an exam' occasionally?

Hi. Twice I've been marked wrong when I omitted the "heures" when filling in the blanks for a library or such open from one hour to another. It appears that the computer isn't recognizing the section of the lesson ("between to times"). Why? Very confusing.
Could one also say, "Le matin j'avais beau de me reveiller?"
I thought the future tense should be used after quand or lorsque. So, shouldn't this phrase be, lorsqu'on visitera un nouveau lieu.
I was wondering how you would put combien into a question with inversion; and I couldn't find any lessons adressing this specifically. This occurred to me while thinking about the question "How many words in the dictionary?" Would it be:
Combien de mots la dictionnaire a-t-elle?
Combien la dictionnaire a-t-elle de mots?
La dictionnaire a-t-elle combien de mots?
Or would it be something different?
Anyway, I just need to ease my curiosity.
Pourquoi on utilise comme elle ne doit pas sortir. Pourquoi pas ainsi que où pour que ?
