Hi there, I was wondering if you could explain the present tense in the following sentence:
Mais c'était avant qu'ils ne reçoivent plus de 15 millions de paquets de la part des 26.000 buralistes de France...
Why is "reçoivent" in present (subjunctive)?
Thanks!
Why was l'imparfait used? I thought lepassé composé would be a best fit for the sentence.
I think that the text “Nous ramassions des coquillages” has the audio “Nous y ramassions des coquillages”.
Hi there, I was wondering what the difference is between using "donc" and "du coup" or "par consequent". I seem to keep mixing these up. Whenever I look them up, they seem to be interchangeable but when I complete the exercises, this is not the case.
Here's the context: Du coup, je n'ai pas arrêté une minute aujourd'hui, pour que tout soit prêt à temps.
Thanks for your help
Bonjour! I was wondering why the verb acheter is as achetées rather than acheté ? Do we know that the person who bought the boots is female or is this another rule that I may have missed ?
Merci :)
How do you know when to use qui or ce qui in a sentence both can be followed by a verb?
I still can't wrap my head around when you use the subjonctif passé instead of the subjonctif présent. Can someone please give me a couple more examples?
Merci :)
what is the meaning of "par où"? is it different when used relative pronouns or noun clause? I can'not undertand it???
