I'm not 100% certain, but I think this should be , "dûe à" , not "due à"

I have a feeling both spellings are accepted ?

Comments anyone ?

Thanks, Paul.

How do I know canines are feminine? Because the singular ends in ‘e?’

I'm afraid they will be naughty.

(HINT: Conjugate "faire" in the Subjonctif présent)

The suggested correct answer is "fassent"; but why is it not "feront"? Surely, even in French, there is a difference in meaning between "I'm afraid they will be naughty" and "I'm afraid they are naughty"?

Hello there ! I've got a question about subjonctif, can we conjugate these verbes: {penser, croire, imaginer, espérer} on "futur proche ou future simple"? 

I mean are they common? 

Ex: Après le procès de la semaine prochaine, Julie croira que Margaret est innocente.

And also :Après le procès de la semaine prochaine,Julie ne croira pas que Margaret soit innocente. 

I understand that one uses the present tense for the immediate future, but when does the future lose its 'immediate' character? I would think that tomorrow is NOT immediate, and would require the future tense!

C'était tout ce à quoi je m'intéressais.

Why à quoi? Why not auquel since it's s'intéresser à [qch] ?

Thank you!

Bonjour, je voudrais savoir si'il y a (il doit que) pour sobjonctif

J'ai vu cette exemple:

Il doit partir la semaine prochaine. 

Est-ce qu'on peut dire aussi:

Il doit que nous partions la semaine prochaine. 

Hello, 

So, the demonstrative pronouns in French, if I'm not mistaken, are: celui, ceux, celle, celles 

While in English, they're: this, these, that, those 

But if I want to translate: That looks like the car I used to drive. in French, that's Cela ressemble à la voiture que je conduisais. 

Why cela and not celle ?

So, when do you actually use the french demonstrative pronouns?

What to do if there is only a noun and not a pronoun.
