Subjonctif futur"J'ai peur que tu ne le fasses" means "I'm scared you'll do it" according to one test. But shouldn't it rather be "I'm scared you are doing it"? There seems to be no subjonctif futur in French?

"Ma" Mere, "Mon' pere, "Mon" frere

Salut!

In the audio of the three above words, "le" and "la" are spoken instead of "ma" and "mon", which is what is actually written.

Merci!

Tu fais quoi? and vous faites quoi?

Is it fine to use these forms to ask "what are you making?" or is there a more appropriate way to ask/better verb to use?

Both fortement and fort can be used as an adverb

Hi Kwiziqers! Marc a une forte personnalité. Il défend ___ ses opinions.

Why only fortement is correct? Fort can also be used an adverb.

Je devais vs j'ai dûI though devoir in imparfait meant "was supposed to" and in passé composé meant "had to" so shouldn't it be "j'ai dû me lever plus tôt"?

list of verbs that require an indirect object pronounBonjour! Would the verb mettre & other verbs containing mettre (admettre; promettre etc), all require an indirect object pronoun instead of a direct object pronoun, please? Reason being that these verbs are followed by the preposition à. (I'm trying to make a list of all verbs that require an indirect object pronoun: "to him/her"; "to them") Cheryl
