Choosing the correct tenseBonjour Madame Cécile !
Two sentences are given as->
1.Quand vous voyagerez en France, vous serez très occupé.
When you travel to France, you'll be very busy.
2.Quand ils arriveront, tu iras les accueillir.
When they arrive, you will go and welcome them.
Here, I would like to raise a question as to why one cannot use Le Futur Antérieur in the clauses after Quand in the two sentences mentioned above. Why are both the clauses using Le Futur Simple ?
One action precedes the other in the future so why not Le Futur Antérieur ?
What does Le Futur Simple in both the clauses signify ?
Merci encore !
Bonne Fête Nationale Française !
From my understanding this is from the initial verb entendre meaning to hear.
From the different conjugations it will be I hear myself, I hear you etc but when you add "bien" at the end why does it become "I get along"? i.e., Je m'entends bien avec...?
Thankyou,
Max

"Restée" is the correct past participle for a female, right?
You could program to accept both male and female answers, perhaps.
Women and girls need to get in the habit of using the feminine.
Yeah, yeah, I know that genderless is coming down the pike, but for now it is incontrovesial that women use feminite forms in French. How elegant it would be if I could write, "Je suis restée."
Bonjour Madame Cécile!
This is a sentence from a lesson explaining the use of “le meilleur” ->
C'est la meilleure idée que tu aies jamais eue!
It's the best idea you've ever had!
Here, why has the verb ‘avoir’ been placed in Le Subjonctif ?
Is this because of the key word -> que ?
I request you to provide a few more examples as it’s the first time I have come across this case.
Merci beaucoup!
Je vous souhaite une bonne journée!
