Bonjour, je ne peux pas utiliser les accents sur mon claviers
The quick Lesson on this sites that in the negative imperative the subject pronoun (tu, vous, nous) is dropped.
In Schaum's Outlines text, I see the following negative imperatives: Ne te reveille pas, Ne nous reveillons pas, and Ne vous reveille pas.
One of the exercise questions in chapter 5 of same text asks for the negative imperative of "Promenez-vous dans le parc" The answer is Ne vous promenez pas dans le parc.

"Ils sont en forme de crânes."
Why is it not, "Ils sont en forme des crânes." IOW why is the partitive singular de for the plural crânes ?
When was the "point" (full stop) replaced with the exclamation mark in French? There seem very few occasions when the point is acceptable: But the exclamation mark seems mandatory in most circumstances.
Hello.
The English sentence is: I'd never seen that, it was like in a horror movie!
I must have missed the rule that explains the use of conditional past in French. Can you enlighten me please.
Thanks.
In "J'aurais pu changer ..." I kept hearing and "l" in "pu." Did anybody else hear this, too?
j'ai mangé pendant une heure vs j'ai mangé en une heure.
Do they have the same meaning: I ate within one heure?
Thanks.
