I naively thought that, given that all reflexive verbs take être as their auxiliary, they would always agree in gender and number when requiring a past participle. Is there any simple method I can apply to identify the exceptions to the rule

Rosa and "ne craint" again

Bonjour,

I have a question regarding the same sentence another person posted about. "Rosa craint que nous n'allions en vacances." This confuses me as well, because I took it to mean "Rosa is afraid we might go on vacation." Is that correct? That is not what it shows for an answer in the quiz. It says "Rosa fears we might never go..." But if ne has no negative value, it cannot mean never.

Merci,

Lisa

Leur/leurs

When I took French in school I remember there being a confusion with leur and leurs around sentences such as "the men went to their cars" where there was a difference between each man going to his own individual car versus the cars being collectively owned by the group of men.

Does anyone know what I'm talking about? Or is it just "les hommes sont allés à leurs voitures" for both?

Time between Kwiz availability

Is there a chance that the Kwiz(es) could be more varied, challenging, and taken more frequently within the specific subject areas, say, after 24 hours of taking the last Kwiz ? ( I hope I am posting this in the right place and apologize if I am not :-)

Thank you,

Colleen

I am struggling with this too

I always learnt that: " I went up the ladder was" took the verb "être"

Je suis allée jusqu'a l'echelle

Why is it in your example with "avoir". "I went up the stairs"

"J'ai monté les escaliers"??
