'Arriver' vs. 'se produire' vs. 'se passer'; and the use of 'rendre'Just a couple of quick questions:
I wrote, " Ca se passait si souvent que..." and it was marked wrong. Can someone explain why this is not a correct use of "se passer" in this case? I understand the use of "arriver" and "se produire", but thought that "se passer" would work, too. Especially, as I am much more familiar with this expression.
I was going to write, "Ils m'ont toujours fait..." but instead tried using "rendre". Again, marked wrong, (but then I used the l'imparfait so maybe that was the reason?). LaRousse gives as a definition for "rendre": "(suivi d'un adjectif) (faire devenir) = To make", with the example, "rendre quelqu'un fou". Again, an expression that I am familiar with; "rendre quelqu'un triste/content/heureuse, etc."
Would "Ils m'ont toujours rendue sure est acceptee" be correct? Or, do those adjectives need the use of "se sentir"?
Thank you in advance for any feedback.
Bonne Continuation !
Why is, Ces chaussures, je les ai voulu immédiatement not listed as choice. The past particle of vouloir is voulu. Thanks for your help.
Elle veut que son français soit parfait !
English translation here is: She wants her french to be perfect!
This is confusing: if Le Subjonctif has 2 different subjects - then is she wanting her own french to be perfect (which would not be Subjonctif)or someone else's (like her daugthter's or her female friend or the professor wants the student's french to be perfect)?
