French language Q&A Forum

If you were to say something such as "after eating, I will go for a walk," are you required to use the anterior future and repeat "je" twice, or is it somehow possible to incorporate an infinitive like this (Être allé manger, perhaps?).

Hi room and experts

Please can someone explain use of  'en' in sentence, 'Nous savons que tu as travaillé dur pour en arriver là'

I am confused because my understanding is that  'en' is used to replace a (de + phrase) proposition following a verb. However, in this case,  I do not see how the verb 'arriver' could have been followed by the  'de' proposition and hence I am confused

Please help 

I've been marked wrong for using - Il est dix-neuf heures et demie. - for 7.30 PM

But it's shown as acceptable in the lesson above.

Why?

1. According to multiple references « faire du lèche-vitrines » is invariable with the plural form of 'vitrines'. However, it appears that the 1990 rectifications accept the singular form. The plural form is still correct but is being red-lined through the 's'.

2. The hint for "Some of them deliver to your door " is to use the plural form of "yours" - I think this is meant to be use the polite form, as the expected script  is « votre porte », not « vos portes »

In this lesson one of the questions was "Marie a manqué l'école ". I would have answered this with "Marie (has) missed school." Of course this answer wasn't available and the right answer was "Marie didn't go to school." Wouldn't this be easier to understand if written like " Marie n'est pas alleé à école ?" or are all similar events ( not going/doing somewhere/something) expressed by  "Manquer de ?" Thanks,  Heather.

pourquoi "inaugurera", c'est au futur ?

In this sentence can't we use des amis Why d'amis

Can I take a full TCF sample test, to determine my current level?
