What vs WhoIn my quiz question it began "Qu'est-ce que tu ....." and I answered "What .." but it showed the correct answer to begin with "Who .." I can't see how that is correct.

Using reflexivesWhen using a reflexive verb, e.g., se laver, se lever, se réveiller, etc., I was under the impression that in the second person plural (vous) an "S" was added to the verb in the passé composé. Am I wrong?

Pronom en ou la? I have a question.

Remplacez avec un pronom convenable.

Elle place une statue de bronze à l'entrée de la maison.

Les mots soulignés sont "Une statue de bronze".

1) Elle en place une à l'entrée de la maison

2) Elle la place à l'entrée de la maison.

Why use indicative passe simple? (sorry can`t insert an accent).Elle courait quand le bus arriva. Arriva to my knowledge is not spoken, therefore would this be the format in a written report?

Is this passive voice? In the sentence, "je plais à Luc", it would seem that "je" would be the subject and "Luc" the object, but in the translation, "Luc likes me", that is turned around and "Luc" is the subject and "me" the object. So the english translation doesn't feel passive but the french does.

Should this be ("gerer" ----to manage)

chaque samedi/ le samedi

Hi, can I use le samedi instead of chaque samedi. I've read that an article is used with days of week when an action is repetitive.
