I don't understand the difference. What is wrong with saying Nous and not On?
Thank you
Just FYI, the HINT i.e. mon rêve is attached to the wrong audio file.
This is given as an alternative. Does it have any meaning/use?
In this lesson examples such as "Vous aurez déménagé d'ici avril" and "Nous aurons fini de creuser la piscine d'ici le mois prochain and others use the futur antérieur, yes?
Futur antérieur is not difficult to understand. However, I am following the Lawless French website algorithm for studying B1 subjects. Up to the point of "By + [point in time] = d'ici ..." the futur antérieur verb structure has not been introduced.
It's a little disconcerting to mix key grammar points, such as futur antérieur, into examples before they have been studied.
How many questions are there per each lesson in the quiz bank?
In the first example, "se demander" does not agree in number or gender because the reflexive pronoun "se" is an indirect object. Why doesn't that same rule apply to "se sentir" (I feel)? Thanks.
hi room, experts
Please explain translation 'And although the majority among us thought they had no ideas' - ''Et bien que la majorité d'entre nous pense n'avoir aucune idée',
Two aspect are confusing me about this translation:
1) Why is the French written in present tense whereas the english is in the past
2) What happened to the translation of 'They'? in the French translation I cannot see that the word 'They' has been translated?
The correct "City of Lights" translation for Paris in French is La Ville Lumière not La Cité des Lumières! You should fix this.

Relatedly, in an inverted question like "La fille a-t-elle un chat ?" , is the placement of the subject at the beginning done solely for emphasis? If so, would it be uncommon for a comma to appear after it?
[Edit] As usual, I found the answer after posting the question...
Apparently, when the subject is a noun or name, that subject remains in place and is repeated in the form of a subject pronoun.
