What is compound tense. They love each other? It is compound tense? And how?
Why isn`t the statement 'Je sors de Narbonne en ce moment-même.' correct? It seems to be one of the special cases where 'sortir de' can be used when leaving a city (only time). According to Wikepedia Narbonne is a town in France. The correct answers used partir and quitter which made sense to me but this 3rd sentence also seemed correct.
Appreciate your comments. Thanks.
I did a review test and I answered: "Nous n'attendons plus Laura"
This follows the above example Je n'aime plus Theo
But, may answer was wrong, the correct answer was:
"Nous n'attendons Laura plus"
why?
I have found it impossible to learn the 2 conjugations of this verb. I am probably way worse at rote memorization than most other people (and not just for French). Every so often I come back to it here, hoping something will strike me. Aha! I just noticed that the endings for the first conjugation present indicative are the same as for voir! Small progress. As for the second conjugation, are there any "familiar" verbs that have these endings? I tried to used Ez-glot to find similar endings, but the site is no longer accessible.
Thanks

Sur votre gauche, vous verrez des panneaux qui vous montreront le chemin de la place.
Can we say 'à votre gauche'? thanks in advance.
I'm having trouble understanding when to use stress pronouns vs. indirect object pronouns. The sentence "quand un inconnu s'approchait de moi": Why would this not be "quand un inconnu m'approchait"? Would it be different if the verb wasn't reflexive?
