If the verb is se passer, should it not be "Comment tes vacances se sont-ils passées"
If the verb is simply passer, should it not be "Comment sont passées tes vacances"
Hi I am a bit confused. I was reading about adverbs and I saw this sentence
Je t'aimerai pour toujours --> I will love you forever
I though the infinitive Te/t' would only follow sentences with Tu at the start. Is there a rule around since it's about someone else the 'Je' bit at the start isn't the subject?
Is there a topic on this specifically for me to understand?
Thanks,
Max

Currently, I am doing a part time job.
whysit all rhyming with ec?
Merci pour cette dictée qui est le sujet de beaucoup de conversations en France aujourd'hui. Je vit aux États-Unis où nous avons eu un problème similaire il y a plusieurs ans. Nous l'avons résolu en élevant l'age de retraite normale jusqu'à 67 ans. Bien sûr c'est difficile de retirer une promesse et il y a toujours des autres choix. Comme France, les États-Unis ont un déficit chaque année. Dans l'avenir quelqu'un doit payer la dette. Qui le fera?
I found I had more difficulty with the punctuation that the words! A lot of English writing increasingly drops commas these days, and it might be helpful to know the French rules! For example, I wouldn’t put a comma before "in Spain" in the first sentence.
I believe "avant que" takes the subjunctive. Since this is a memory from the past, shouldn't we use the past subjunctive?
Why does he switch from je to on? There is no hint, up to that point, that he will be going with others.
