Is this brand name white out?
Ne serait-il pas plus intéressant de se concentrer chaque semaine sur une région ou une ville française ? Cela inviterait également les apprenants à tirer le meilleur parti de leur expérience de voyage en France.
Sorry, it’s late and I’m trying to get my head around the sentence structure: does it mean - "The cows, whose babies the farmers feed, rest etc?"
Is it unusual for "dont" to refer to the distant object of the subordinate clause like this? (Apologies if this is a spoiler for the micro kwiz just above!)
In the lesson on the passé composé of vouloir it says:
In Le Passé Composé (Indicatif), the meaning of vouloir is often closer to "tried".Does the same apply to the Plus-que-Parfait?
In English I think I'd be more likely to vocalise 2+2 = 4 as "two plus two is four" than either "equals" or "makes". Would saying "deux plus deux est quatre" sound odd in French?
Why do we use j'ai toujours eu for "I have always had"? My understanding is the passe' compose' of avoir implies "I got" more than "I had". If we want to say "I had" we should use j'avais.
Quand est-ce qu'on utilise "pendant que" avec le subjonctif?
Hi, should “et il faudra que vous vérifiez leurs conditions” in fact be “et il faudra que vous vérifiiez leurs conditions” as vérifier is in the subjunctive?
Why is it 'le jeudi' not just 'jeud'i?

I have been trying to understand what “fixerent” means/where it comes from (please excuse lack of accents in my question). At first I thought the translation should be the two dogs stare or are staring at each other.I then found a conjugation table and found “fixerent” (with the accent over the e) is passé simple.I have only just been moved up to “B2” level on Kwiziq but I don’t understand how the passé simple is used and so don’t follow it’s use within this lesson.Why is it not passé compose using etre?Thanks for your assistance.
