French language Q&A Forum

Question: Doing some review before taking an immersion class. To the question: Please translate s'brosser in passe compose "We brushed our hair", I wrote: "Nous nous sommes brosses..." (with the correct accent). Response was that it was nearly correct and should have been "Nous nous sommes brosse". I don't get it. Why would it be singular? Thanks in advance. 

Est-ce qu'il y a une différence entre "futur" et "avenir"?

J'ai appris "avenir" en tout cas, et "futur" pour dire "le futur simple" par exemple.

Hi,

I did yesterday's 'fill-in-the-blanks' exercise entitled, 'Un projet de voyage en famille' which consists of putting verbs au futur simple. 

Kwiziq dinged me for writing, "Les filles se bronzeront à la plage pendant que je nagerai." Kwiziq wanted, "Les filles bronzeront à la plage ..." ; no 'se'. 

When l checked dictionaries, l found that some included 'se bronzer' and some did not. Which is interesting.  And,  two key French dictionaries validated 'se bronzer' as being a valid option for 'to tan' : Le Dictionnaire de l'Académie française (online) and Larousse, https://www.larousse.fr 

I wonder, might some consideration be given to adding 'se bronzer' to Kwiziq's database? Thanks.

Would "un petit mot" work as a translation here? I feel like I've come across this much more often than "note", or maybe there's some nuance I'm missing?

Bonjour, je ne peux pas utiliser les accents sur mon claviers

Why cette année instead of cet an?  

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.
