Using reflexive verbs in all the many ways that verbs are used, e.g:Il se lève: this present tense statement in other tenses, while also in the negative &/or the interrogative? Could you please write examples? Thanks! Cheryl

use of plus-que parfaitAs a first step into B2 territory, I'm trying to understand how/when this tense is used. My first idea is that it is used in a "story- telling" way. e.g. Elles étaient allées manger une glace. They had gone to eat an ice cream.... Thus they were not home when the tree fell in their house. Or: "I know a tree fell on their house- are they okay? Yes, they had gone to eat an ice cream." So, am I going in the right direction as far as understanding how this tense is used?

why has the little French keyboard disappeared?Hi When I use Kwiziq on my phone and type my answers, there's no longer any access to the French keyboard so have to rely on Google's voice programme le I need to add accents. Not very reliable. Could you reinstate the keyboard please ? Thanks. Diane
