"Quels/Quelles sont les danseuses engagées?"
I answered "Quels" as it was unclear if the dancers were male/female or both. I was marked incorrect. Was that because of an incorrect assumption on my part ( that all dancers are female) or was there another reason?
thanks for your guidance,
Elizabeth
Please can you explain whether this still applicable when you are using conditional phrasing. Instead of:
Je ne prétends pas que ce soit comme ça partout.
I don't claim it's like that everywhere
How would you say: I don't claim that it would be like that everywhere
Does that still use the subjunctive?
Thank you.
The passive voice in several examples where we needed "was sent" and "had prepared" used plus que parfait ie) était envoyé and avait préparé, but for "the students were welcomed", my use of étaient accueillis was incorrect and the correct answer was the p.c.: Les étudiants ont été accueillis was correct. This seems illogical to me. Please explain the difference.
