For the sentence, "I've faced many challenges since I became a parent...", why do you use the passe compose instead of the present tense? E.g., je rencontre de nombreux défis depuis que je suis devenu parent.
How would you write "Question of the Day"? For example, each day my french class starts with a "question of the day". I've been using jour but now I'm worried I've been incorrect.
Really don't understand why the waterpolo is faire du versus jouer au. There is a ball involved, n'est pas?
Why wouldn't this be "une variété...a fait"? It's "variety" that is the subject of the sentence, and not the prepositional clause "of programs," is it not?
" Ayant passé une très bonne journée ..." Is this the past form of 'le gérondif'? Oops! Having just posed the question, I think I found the answer in the link in the lesson. So, would it be correct if I said, "Ayant juste posé cette question, j'ai trouvé la réponse." ?
I think faire faire and se faire + infinitif are quite hard for English speakers to get their heads round. Is there a reason that only one of the examples is in the present tense? Even that one is ambiguous (ils se font couper les cheveux - could be they’re getting their hair cut as we speak or are just about to).
... s'il vous plait.
I thought name days were always masculine. Why not here?
In this sentence - 'Je souhaiterais presque être né dans un autre pays, de telle sorte que ma langue maternelle m'ait préparé à ces défis linguistiques' - could you have instead 'Je souhaiterais presque être né dans un autre pays, pour que ma langue maternelle 'm'ait prépraré...' ?
With dans, am I physically in the place? I’m trying to understand, clearly the difference between en & dans. Thank you.
