On an test I received for this lesson. Kwiziq says "it is extraordinary that something happened" translates in French to "il est extraordinaire que quelque chose se soit passé"
My thoughts: "it is extraordinary that something happened" seems to refer to a certain factual event , already in the past, which is not a suggestion, wish, etc. , so why use subjonctif ? This clearly is not the same as "It is important for something to happen..."
Merci,
Adrian
Is le passé simple used in daily newspapers and popular magazines or is it strictly reserved for use in literature? Merci!
The answer to the imperative of this sentence is given to be "Ne te lave pas". Why isn't it "ne te laves pas"?
Can someone distinguish for me the difference between the French cookie, petit gâteau, and biscuit. Does it depend on size or thickness?
