Désormais pourrait-il marcher mieux dans la dernière phrase? - je comprend le sens de la phrase à être que l’audience ne le savait pas auparavant mais désormais on le sait bien.
I'm not clear on the rule for verb conjugation when the subject has a name e.g., James, and then what when 2 named subjects - James and Martha (mixed gender) are doing the same thing, does that differ in terms of conjugation rules? and then what about plural same gender or mixed group?
The question is above. Thanks in advance
In the sentence, "Elle a été très impressionnée" we used passe compose whereas with "c'etait très romantique" we used imparfait. Aren't they both expressing an emotion so it should be imparfait for the first example instead of passe compose? Please help me out Thank you
"You would go there" is translated as "Tu irais la-bas..." above. Could it also be: "Tu y irais?
I thought the French spelling for "weekend" was normally "week-end". Has this changed to "weekend" in recent times?
The English translation of this ' By the time he's had his lunch, you can have a shower' is agreed by 50 of my fb friends to be ungrammatical and not something an english person would say. The wrong answer - the time it takes him to have lunch, you could have a shower, is much more what we would say, although we'd say 'In the time..' and you might say'In the time it takes him to have lunch, you can have a shower' although could is better. Could someone please pay attention to this. It feels wrong consistently having to select a fake English answer.
