Ont connu ont connait

Bonjour,

Je viens de faire un exercise

Vos fleurs ________ de meilleurs jours.

Your flowers have known better days.

J'ai utilisé **ont connait** pour have known

Mais la réponse correcte a été **ont connu** (knew)

Vos fleurs ont connu de meilleurs jours" - You flowers **knew**better days?

Pourquoi on utilisé le PC ici? Plus que parfait pour **have known**

Ferry questions

Hi, should “on m'avait expliqué que le départ du ferry était retardé” be “on m'avait expliquée que le départ du ferry était retardé” because “m’” is a female direct object (I.e. Emeline is speaking)?

Also, the spelling on “En dépit de tous mes efforts pour arriver à l'heure à la gare ferrovière” is not coming up in WordReference, only “ferroviaire” is. Which is correct please?

incorrectly marking incorrect

Hello, sometimes when I type the correct word, correct spelling, correct accents, correct punctuation, and everything, the word still gets highlighted as "different" than the example given. Even though my answer is the exact same as the one given. What could be the solution here ? It is marking me down a lot of points I should'nt be marked down for.

Indicatif v subjonctifS'informer sur ce qui convient le mieux à votre animal familier est la plus grande preuve d'amour que vous puissiez lui donner.

Why has "subjonctif" been used in the last part of the sentence? Is it possible to have a complete list of cases when it is an absolute must to use the subjunctive mood? Thanks

Encore un exercice vraiment intéressant et utile

Un excellent travail sur le subjonctif et le vocabulaire. J’ai recopié les exercices B2 et C1 de cette semaine pour les réviser plus tard. Merci! : )
