Is there anyone available to help me with my past tense grammar in French?Good evening all, I have an assignment for French and would like either an advanced or a native speaker to analyze what I have written. I am working on past tense verb usage and I am struggling a bit. It is an essay, so I figure it may be a bit extensive to post on here.

They would be lucky: "ils auraeints de la chance" I saw the avoir verb used here: "ils auraeints de la chance." Why not use etre ("would be"): Ils seraient de la chance. Is it a rule that the avoir verb always used with luck versus the etre verb?

Statement about collective nouns in EnglishCollective nouns, such as family, team, and company are singular. The pronoun that would refer to these particular nouns is "it." A speaker may change to "they" but the speakers would be referring to family members, players, or employees. One would right, "A spokesperson for the company announced that it is profitable."
