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 !
Lesson: I think you’re beautiful. I used trouver, Je trouve que tu es belle. Why is trouver incorrect? Thanks.
Bonjour ! J'apprécie vraiment tous l'information sur ce site. Cependant, j'ai remarqué que le discours indirect manque parmi les leçons. Sera-t-il ajouté bientôt ?

Does par-dessus imply movement over, or could au-dessus be used as well? C'est-à dire, est-ce qu'on pourrait dire "Le ballon a volé au dessus de la barrière"?
J'aime beaucoup les discussions ici, merci.
Hi If: Il a mal au genou is his knee hurts. Then how do you write He hurt his knee?
