Le futur simple - "You've had" vs. "You had"Bonjour tout le monde,
Dans ce quiz:
1. ''Vous eûtes un petit frère.'' means:
a. You had a little brother.
b. You've had a little brother.
c. You will have a little brother.
d. You have a little brother.
2. ''Les amants eurent le temps de se cacher avant qu'il n'arrive.'''means:
a. The lovers had time to hide before he came.
b. The lovers took the time to hide before he came.
c. The lovers had had time to hide before he came.
d. The lovers were tempted to hide before he came.
-----------
Pour le premier, j'ai choisi 1a, mais kwiziq a dit que la réponse 1b ("You've") est exacte. Pourquoi ? En anglais, "you've had" veut dire "you have had", à peu près un temps parfait. Est-ce-qu'il aurait du que la correcte réponse soit 1a: "You had a little brother" ?

I don't understand "le tout".
Is "le" article or pronoun?
Does "tout" mean "everything"? Is it an adjective or pronoun or noun?

I've always been baffled about when a hyper is used as in this interview "As-tu..." Je bison d'aide!
What took you so long?
I don't understand why we here use the "qui". I would use "que" here as there is no verb following it. Can someone explain please?
Les enfants ont-ils récité ces mots en sautant à la corde?
I answered the "vampires in the morning question" (I have attempted to include the french text several times, but the website keeps reducing to a ">"; i guess it doesn't play nice with ">") and would like to better understand why. Am I correct in that the parts of speech for the "nous" are as follows: 1st stress pronoun, 2nd subject pronoun, 3rd reflexive pronoun? I was, prior to the quiz, under the impression that the first "nous" actually serves as a subject pronoun (auxiliary to the les vampires) and thus I omitted the 2nd "nous" in my answer. To help solidify my understanding, would the following be correct: > or does this construction only form with plural subjects? Merci d'avance!
Should this sentence read ‘Quand on ouvre leur porte’?
If not, please explain. Thanks.
Génial! À propos, on dirait ‘le côté clair de la forcé’ pour the light side of the forcé, or ‘le côté lumineux’? Aussi, comment dit-on ‘mat the forcé be with you’; ‘à toi soit la Force’?
