Can infinitif passé be used with avant de under some circumstances?
Here's an example sentence from my French class:
Il n'ira pas jouer avec ses amis avant d'avoir fini ses devoirs.
The question was to correctly conjugate the verb finir in the bolded place; I'd written finir (infinitif présent) in the first place.
Hi,
I was doing a Kwiziq quiz and came across this question: "How could you ask "What is a fougasse?"
One of the answers I selected was: "Quelle est une fougasse ?"
Can someone explain why this isn't correct?
Is there a way to avoid going all the way back to page 1 of the Q & A section when what is wanted is, for example, on page 7? By the way, the vast majority of the answers provided seem to be clear and appropriate and are much appreciated.
Is the use of "en" is necessary in the following phrase: "j'ai pu rapidement en constater les effets sur ma facture d'électricité."
In the micro quiz, the first question is "Ils sont punis pour avoir sali leur chambre." Why is être used with punir? In the second question, it uses avoir (as I expected). Thanks in advance!
I am so confused! Question: _____________le Louvre
I answered : Qu-est ce que c'est le Louvre. Kwiziq says this is partially right. Their answer" Qu-est ce que le Louvre
When I go to "Explain this" my answer seems to be the correct one given the examples they give but they say not. Can anyone explain this?
Can someone correct this to me, please?
Mon rôle modèle du féminisme est Emma Watson, car elle est une inspirácion. Je pense que ell fait bonne discours et son travail dans la UN est parfait. Elle a été une de las raisons je suis devenu feministée.
While attempting a kwiziq test, I came accross this:
Je viens de Hong Kong.
Et
Je viens d'Ottawa.
Why the de with hong kong do not change to d' ...This seems contrasting to the rule I studied about 'les prepositions de lieux'
Dans cette phrase: ..."puis nous irons déjeuner dans un bistrot de votre choix", est-ce qu'on peut écriver aussi "puis nous déjeunerons dans..." ? Ce n'était pas claire qu'on doit utiliser le futur proche dans cette phrase.
