Hi, in “Curieuse de nature, je m'y étais aventurée !”, is “curieuse” in its feminine form (as opposed to the masculine “curieux”) because the speaker is female? Am I right in thinking that this is not influenced at all by the female word “nature”?
Why do i not use l'imperfait in this sentence. Its a habit? So i use the imperfait?
I have been trying to understand what “fixerent” means/where it comes from (please excuse lack of accents in my question). At first I thought the translation should be the two dogs stare or are staring at each other.I then found a conjugation table and found “fixerent” (with the accent over the e) is passé simple.I have only just been moved up to “B2” level on Kwiziq but I don’t understand how the passé simple is used and so don’t follow it’s use within this lesson.Why is it not passé compose using etre?Thanks for your assistance.
