I do not understand this one.  Rendre means "to return"? so this means "You returned to visit Paula" but it states "You visited Paula".

thanks for a clarification,

Rose

did i read correctly somewhere that this changed in the 1990's??? that before it was j'envoyerai but now it must be envoierai?

Je trouve qu'elle est raison? If not ps explain.

pourquoi les gens americians faire le premiere film

Ex. from above:  Ils ont réussi à la convaincre.  Subject They/verb succeeded - requires preposition à before infinitive verb convaincre to convince?

  I am wondering why "la" direct object is used here instead of "lui" please?  Merci! 

Hi. I am trying to figure out why this uses the passe compose if followed by 'que'.  

Les fleurs que j'ai senties étaient belles.
Would you not be able to use "que j'aie senties" instead of "que j'ai senties", because I remember seeing that when there is "que" we use subjonctif. I do notice this seems to be past tense which is why I ask if the Subjonctif Passe can be used. I am unsure if I have worded my question well, in that you may understand. I appreciate any help provided.

At this link, https://progress.lawlessfrench.com/revision/glossary/verb-tense-mood/the-french-past-conditional-le-conditionnel-passe the two examples near the top of the page seem to be of the conditionnel présent instead of the conditionnel passé. Am I missing something?

Can puis be used instead of ensuite. As this was not presented as a correct alternative.

mais 'puis' je me suis réveillé, et ce n'était qu'un rêve !
