How do you remember whether to use de or à after a verb.
In the first phrase you use encore for « still » and did not give toujours as an alternative. Laura Lawless in the article on thèse words says “ When talking about something that still exists or is still happening, toujours is the better option.". Why is toujours wrong here?
When is future proche used in a sentence.
When is Aller used in the future
Please explain why the verb compléter is spelled two different ways in the future tense. Are both versions OK? Thanks.
I do understand the distinction between transitive and intransitive verbs, but for this English speaker there seems to a real difference between "tu as descendu le cadeau" or "j’ai descendu les boîtes" versus "j’ai descendu les escaliers". You don’t "do" anything (like carrying it down or getting it down) to the staircase/ladder/beanstalk! I’m not sure if the French view the two situations identically or whether it’s just idiomatic to descend something with steps or rungs using the transitive form ?
“Are you all doing your homework?” is translated, “Vous faites tous vos devoirs?”
How to say, “Are you doing all your homework?“ Different meaning. Tx.
