In the following sentence, " C'est aussi de Bourgogne que viennent les fameux escargots de Bourgogne, préparés dans leur délicieux beurre à l'ail et au persil.", why do you use que and not qui? I always thought if you use que, you need to have a subject after it, but qui is the subject and is followed directly by the conjugated verb. However in this case, que seems to replace a 3rd person plural subject.

1. Is there any word called 'reprimande' in French denoting the same sense as reprimand in English. 

2.  Le pire était à l'école où l'on m'envoyait dans le bureau du directeur.   In this sentence means they?

3. This sentence is difficult for me to understand: je m'étais calmé avant qu'il ne soit trop tard !

The first part of the sentence is in the plus-que-parfait tense, while the second part is in the subjonctif present tense. Since the past perfect tense is always used to describe a past action that took place before another past action, shouldn't the subjonctif passé here be more appropriate? The English sentence itself illustrates this fact: ... had calmed down ... was

Thank you! Overall, a difficult but good exercise to think about the complex constructions of the sentences.

Hi! I got this question wrong: “ Elle a manqué le bus, donc elle doit___”.

I answered “aller à pied,” because we were contrasting two means of transportation. The correct answer was “marcher.” 

Instinct says both are fine. Am I wrong?

Given the English sentence to translate, can I say:

...il m'a révélé ce qui lui était arrivé en France

Pourriez-vous m'expliquer pourquoi dans cette phrase il faut utiliser le pluriel: a + les = aux?

aux alentours 

ou

aux environs

Merci!

Ce produit est inférieur au nôtre.

Why "au nôtre" rather than "à nôtre" 

To my knowledge, 'le plus que parfait' is used to indicate actions before a (supposedly) principal action, denoted in passe compose,  in the past. I have had a hard time with what this principal action here. 

Ce film, qu'il avait réalisé, écrit et produit, est un chef-d'œuvre absolu 

Je n'avais pas entendu parler de ce film avant

Il a aussi réalisé la série à succès Big Little Lies

I didn't understand the justification for the tenses used here. If someone can help me with this, I would deeply appreciate it. 

Thanks in advance.

…parce que il m’a conduit sur Wikipédia à lire un très long article sur la vie fascinante de Gauguin. Merci!

Why was I marked wrong on a quiz for including "quel est un pain au chocolat" in ways to say what is a pain au chocolat?
