"They bring their computers."The sentence, as it stands in the subject line, appears not to be unique in English. Apart from "ils amènent leurs ordinateurs." could it not also be translated as "ils amènent ses orinateurs"? The first one meaning that the computers belong collectively to the group whereas the second option connotes that each one of the group brings his own computer. Or is the second option plainly wrong in French?

Retourner can also use Avoir, if used in a reflexive mode. Are there other cases? Maybe you could make a note on that in the lessons list.

Question about when to use Après que and Après avoir

Hi there,

So I know you can say "Après avoir fini ma rédaction, j'irai me coucher"

q1. But can you also say use "Après que" here or do you need a change of subject? (Like: after I've finished my homework, my teacher will mark it")

q2. If you can use "Après que", is it correct to say "Après que je finirai ma rédaction, j'irai me coucher". Or "Après que j'aurai fini ma rédcation, j'irai me coucher"

q3. Is Quand interchangeable with Après que? I know that the hidden future rule applies to Quand when you're saying "Quand j'aurai ma rédaction, j'irai me coucher". Like q2, would it not make sense to say "Quand j'aurai fini ma rédaction, j'irai me coucher"?

Thank you.

Ry

How about the difference between 'être de' and 'venir de'?

Are these sentences correct?

Je suis de France/ Je suis de la France/ Je suis du Japon

Can 'être de' be followed by state/city/region/direction (le Nord, L'Est)?
