Why does the example of manquer have this example: “Jacques a raté son train”?
"je ferai plus attention" better than "je serai plus prudent" ? To me, être prudent has the better nuance to this situation.
The text uses the infinitive for "je passerai la soiree a parler ..." and the gerund for "Geraldine s'ennuiera en ecoutant ..." Why is the infinitive used in the first part of the sentence and the gerund used in the second part?
Hello rooms and experts
Please clarify why the second of the two options is not also grammatically valid ?

Bonjour Madame Cécile !
This question is regarding a fill-in-the-blank test posted this week on the following link -> https://progress.lawlessfrench.com/blog/une-envie-de-changement-pluperfect-practice/
The last sentence reads- Quand elle avait vu ma nouvelle coupe, Flora en avait eu le souffle coupé.
I am unable to understand why the pronoun "en" has been used here and what is its relation with "le souffle coupé" .
Why does the second sentence translate as- 'Flora had been totally blown away.'
Merci beaucoup Madame pour m'aider encore.
Bonne journée !
Do you have any lessons or notes on why the [nombre] occurs after les années.
Ex- "Vous étaiez étudiants dans les années quatre-vingt."
Whilst I absolutely get that 'vouloir que' is followed by the subj., whu isn't the above a suitable answer to the question - how would you say' I want you to be home by 6pm?'
Why didnt we say : On ne doit pas parle la bouch pleine
instead of On ne doit pas parler la bouch pleine
since it is ER ending verb is that the right way ?
what is the plural of le crayon in french
