When looking around on the internet, it seems like "Retourner" is used here and there, both informal on message boards and formal on shopping sites (for example H&M website: "POUR RETOURNER UN ACHAT EN LIGNE"), for indicating returning an item.
Could you elaborate on this and why you write "Retourner never means to return (something) in the context of a shop for example." ?
Hello, for this question:
Marie nous rejoindra ________ le restaurant. Marie will meet up with us when we've left the restaurant.
The correct answer is: quand nous aurons quitté
I answered: quand nous serons quitté, as I would say nous sommes quitté le restaurant.
So why is this aurons and not serons?Many thanks!
I was wondering why "d’où le fait que" triggers the subjunctive here, when it’s describing an established fact?
quelle luxe ou quel luxe ?
Why is 'disputer' not conjugated here ? Also, is 'vous' reflexive here ?
why is recevrez, the future tense being asked for? wouldn't ce weekend indicate a "near future action " and so take the present tense?
I haven’t come across "une terrasse touristique" - is it a pavement café?
Also, it seems to me that there’s an extraneous consonant in the fourth sentence, between du and lieu: qui émane du … lieu lui-même
(Not sure how to flag technical issues in the listening exercises)
Si triste, mais si vraie. En mort, apres les combats, les combattants, autrefois ennemis, ont plus en commun que leurs frères en la vie.
Can you please explain why "J'ai les jeux marron" is not "marrons"?
