When to use Le Subjonctif Présent or Le Subjonctif Passé?
Regardless of the tense used in the main clause, the question is whether the main clause action will go on until the action after jusqu'à ce que happens, or until it has happened and stopped:
On est restés à l'intérieur jusqu'à ce que la pluie s'arrête. We stayed inside until the rain stopped.I've managed to confuse myself. In the example above surely the rain has completed its stopping – so should the phrase be:
On est restés à l'intérieur jusqu'à ce que la pluie se soit arrêtée
We stayed inside until after the rain had stopped
Or are both correct? Or am I just over-thinking this?

Why do you say mangées and not mangé, since it's "Anne a mangé"?

I don't understand when to use these two "en" and "le/la". For example:
La liberté d'expression est un droit fondamental mais il faut ________ respecter les limites.
I know that "en" refers to La liberté d'expression, but why can't we use "la"?

What is the difference between polluer and faire polluer?
The title holds the right answer. If I was speaking to a native French speaker and spoke this wrong answer - Si tu vas ou pas, ça ne change rien - would the French speaker understand but think to him/herself “tsk tsk such poor grammar”, or would my selection be incomprehensible? Actually, I have a similar question - two birds, one stone - regarding the use of ‘passé simple’ as opposed to ‘passé composé’: is there a simple rule which tells one which is the appropriate choice when?
Je cherche mon dictionnaire!
Is there a way to add accents on the letters? I don't have them on my keyboard...I still enjoyed this practice though!
