Why isn't 'attentif' not acceptable as well as 'attentionné' in the sentence: "Il est très attentionné..."?
Hello, I was wondering if for sentences like "if she were to..., she would...," we use the tense imparfait and conditionnel présent? I also saw sentences that use the verb devoir "si elle devait faire cela..." in these kinds of sentences. Is that correct?
Why is this not translated as "she was wearing . . ." which would be consistent with the description of imparfait from the specific grammar lessons on Imperfect being equivalent to English use of 'was . . ' or 'was ..ing'. It seems to me that 'she wore . . ' would be more consistent with passé compose (Elle a porté . . .)? Noting further that for 'I bought . . . ' the origin of the translation was passé composé - 'J'ai acheté ...' in the same set of examples above.
Hello
on the quiz: "we are leaving at four:" I chose "nous sortons à quatre," because I took it to mean "in the process of." But "partons" is correct, because "sortons" requires an actual place. Is that correct?
Thanks
