Other types of "Si" clausesI'm looking for further information on the other types of "Si" clauses. L'imparfait+conditionnel is just one type. What about "Si" clauses that are placed in the past--e.g. "If you had studied harder, you would have passed the test". Another type: "If you're able, come visit me."

There it isI'm not a native english speaker, but isn't "there it is" (which is given as an incorrect option in the quiz) also used as an expression of relief, just like "finally" or "that's it" or "there you go", depending on the context?

due à or dûe à ?

I'm not 100% certain, but I think this should be , "dûe à" , not "due à"

I have a feeling both spellings are accepted ?

Comments anyone ?

Thanks, Paul.

"Vous pouvez vous garer ici." In this sentence, why do we use the subject "Vous" twice? Is it incorrect to write it as "Vous pouvez garer ici" ?

Les yeux vs mes yeux

In the sentence "my eyes are blue..." I wrote 'Les yeux sont bleus (I forgot to add the j'ai), but it was corrected to "Mes yeux sont bleus." I thought you did not use possessives with body parts?

Salut tout le monde! Quelle est la difference entre "le mercredi passé" et "le mercredi precédent"? Sont-ils la même chose?

Le futur anterieur

I've always been confused by this: "j'aurai du" translates as "I should have" and not as "I will have had to...." but these are not quite the same, I think. "I will have had to catch the 22 bus" suggests that I did catch that particular bus, to achieve whatever, whereas "I should have" suggests that I didn't catch that bus, and perhaps failed in my intention. Similarly for "j'aurai pu" - "I could have" not "I will have been able".

Any advice/explanation appreciated!
