Why is « ils sont passées »correct when one says « They passed the morning bringing eggs.. » Isn’t « to pass the morning » or « to pass the weekend » a transitive use of the verb, therefore « avoir »?
I was wondering why it is "les effort physiques" without the noun being plural. I expected it to be "les efforts physiques" ? (with agreement between the definite article and the noun and the adjective)
i've read with interest the discussion over what tense the subjunctive should be in, in some of these sentences. It all looks so heavy, especially in the spoken language. I'm pretty sure that in every day French, the French would go with the Present. Interested to hear your thoughts on my opinion, as trust me, a lot of French aren't as well schooled in their language as we are through Lawless French.
If I understand the example in the lesson and these comments correctly, the answer should actually be "Il était une fois, un roi qui vivait dans son château."
Si je changeais maintenant here you have used imparfait can I use passé composé here
Is there a difference between "attendre à ce que" and "attendre que"? "J'attendrai que tu t'endormes" = "I'll wait for you to fall asleep" = "I'll wait until you fall asleep". I see no difference in meaning and the simple "que" is more elegant.
