French language Q&A Forum

Would be good to have further explanation of when you use the present (which we all know is 'normal' with depuis) and when you use the the passé composé. I realise it's quite complicated, but using three examples with two different tenses, without acknowledgement, is rather confusing. (Ah, just read the existing comments. See I'm not the first to feel this!)

When do you use tôt and when en advance

hi and thank you for taking the time to answer this: i am very confused between the difference in ‘Je me souviens’ and ‘Je souviens’??? in English of course we only have ‘I remember’ , that s why i have no idea when to use which!! please help if you can and many thanks 🙏🏽 

Bonjour tout le monde,

Je me demande ce que "Tel est pris qui croyait prendre" veut dire, quelqu'un pourrait m'aider ?

Merci bien !

There is nothing in the question, or in the Quick Lesson, that indicates that the phrase " tôt" is incorrect. There is no context, so BOTH/EITHER answer(s) must be correct. Annoying.

What is the difference between the usage of 'avant que' + subjonctif and 'avant de' + indicatif? Are there certain situations where can only use one or the other?
