is it "vous êtes qui" always?So if I'm asking to a group of people "Who are you?" the question would be the same as if I'd be asking that to a single person?? Is it vous êtes qui, no matter what? I was expecting it to be like "quis" or some plural there

approcher de vs. s'approcher de

When do you use "approcher de" as opposed to "s'approcher de"? Would "s'approcher de" have been incorrect in the context of this writing exercise?

Are "à temps" and "à l'heure" not interchangeable? Bonjour. I used the first one in a quiz to fill in the blank, and it was marked wrong: "Étais-tu ________ (à temps) pour ton rendez-vous? Were you on time for your appointment?" But à temps was used in another quiz: "Il court ________ (pour) arriver au travail à temps. He runs [in order] to get to work on time."

FUTUR PROCHE vs FUTUR SIMPLE

Dear Aurelie,

Thanks for the excellent exercises, precise grammer and support.

I have a question about Futur Proche and Futur Simple. At what point/time do we change from Futur Proche to Futur Simple: 6 hours, 1 day,...? I do not remember seeing any rules about this.

Thanks in advance for your response.

Chris
