French language Q&A Forum

Hi all,

just wondering if the liaison in the following sentence between "sortis" and "ensemble" is required, forbidden, or optional?

"Nous sommes sortis ensemble."

or similarly, 

"J'ai pris un taxi."

Should we use Coureur ou coureur cycliste?

Merci

1. J'arriverai avant qu'ils n'aient mangé.

2. Nous voulons que tu aies rangé ta chambre avant ce soir.

3. J'ai attendu qu'il soit monté dans le train pour partir

I use Avoir when Transitive as is #2 but why avoir in #1 which is intransitive as is #3.

This is the most confusing subject I have encountered so far. Please explain.

Nous ne nous sommes pas levés tôt.       Ils ne se sont pas brossé les dents .

Are these sentences correct?  Should the past participle still agree with the noun? Could you provide more examples please. Thanks in advance.

Parfois, je prends la voiture juste pour me promener dans la campagne. 

Good morning,

My answer to Q7 in this test was wrong.I wrote 'montre' instead of 'montres'.I am not sure why an 's' has been added to 'montre' since the auxiliary verb is avoir and not etre.(I cannot add the accents).I can only assume I've missed a lesson where this is discussed but I suspect it has something to do with the use of 'leur'.

Thank you for your help.

Bonjour!

Can I make any regular verb a reflexive verb (but not the other way around)? If so, then it must follow that its auxiliary in passé composé be être and not avoir?

Merci :)

I have mentioned time as six heures quarante-cinq why it is marked wrong
