for "mardi prochain"? the quiz asks about mardi prochain. I fully understand using the present for near future. got it. But "next Tuesday" is not so "near" that the future tense should be wrong! at least both options should be right.
Should “tes chaussettes de sport qui sentent mauvais” be “tes chaussettes de sport qui sentent mauvaises” so that “mauvaises” agrees with “chaussettes”?
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.
When she is assembling the plane she says 'venir' in every step. It doesn't seem to change the meaning of the sentence so is it just a language tic? If not, what does it do?
Ex. Nous allons venir assembler notre avion
On va venir prendre le deuxième baton jaune
On viendra l'appliquer à l'arrière
Je n'entends pas ont dans le phrase, Mes amis ont honte de leur comportement.
Je te le dirai quand tu auras promis de te taire. Where did the pronoun le come from?
I am very confused:
Ex: After YOU visited the city, YOU… ( same subject). Why is it translated by: « après que vous avez visité la ville, vous… instead of « après avoir visité la ville, vous… ». Merci de me répondre.
I feel that this is an ambiguous statement and could be passé composé (as the act of transition) or l'imparfait (as a state of being). As in "My mother was Oriental, but my father came from Europe" vs. "They came from Europe to go to the funeral". Compare: "Once upon a time, a king lived in his castle."
my answer was correct yet it was marked wrong
