Following other answers, I'm much clearer but what is "an instance where the verb following «on» changes from the third persona singular to, usually, a plural tense and agrees correspondingly".
And, to be clear, when "on" = "we" it's still singular .... on a dit, here?
I'm curious to know why this sentence isn't conjugated with avoir (passer + time) or "se passer" (to happen/take place)? Would it be incorrect to write "Le weekend s'est passé très vite"?
Why would it not be:
Oui, je y veux.
We use venir à?
I understand that avant que requires the subjunctive. Given that the first part of the sentence is in the pluperfect, why is the present subjunctive used rather than past subjunctive? His arrival is in the past, just not as far in the past as the homework.
Is avoir à a possible alternative to devoir?
Can avoir à ever be used instead of devoir? For example j'ai à vous remercier instead of je dois vous remercier.Find your French level for FREE
