Regarding the phrase 'j'ai cru que je n'y arriverais jamais', I was thinking that 'j'ai cru' might need to be followed by the subjunctive, as the part after j'ai cru is negative. Does the subjunctive rule only apply if it is je n'ai pas cru perhaps?

Thanks

Why is the weekday pluralized at " tous les mercredis? "I was taught earlier that you're not allowed to pluralize weekdays like that. Is it because of the tous les structure? Also, I think it'd help if the lesson advised you to pretend the subject pronoun is there before the verb but after the person name to make conjugating easier: " Jean and I, we went to the cinema = Jean et moi (nous) sommes alles au cinema. "

Are there quizzes or lessons specifically designed to expand one's vocabulary?Let me begin by saying that I'm thrilled with Kwiziq so far—my French grammar is improving at a remarkable rate. However, I was wondering whether there were any quizzes or lessons designed with the sole purpose of expanding ones vocabulary around specific subject areas (as oppose to quizzes improving one's understanding of grammatical constructions). Improving my grammar is my top priority, nevertheless it would sometime be nice to dip into, say, business or scientific terminology and then be tested accordingly.

Choosing the correct tense

Bonjour 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 !
