I know that I can use the passe compose when expresing the habits with" apres que"
is it valid for "quand,aussitôt que,dès que,lorsque,une fois que,
for example
Je me brosse les dents quand je me suis lèvé (first ı get up then I brush my teeths)
aussitôt je me suis levé, Je me brosse les dents
dès que je me suis levé, Je me brosse les dents
lorsque je me suis levé, Je me brosse les dents
une fois que, je me suis levé, Je me brosse les dents
I wish your helps... Merci beaucoup.
When do you know that this object is a direct object or indirect object.
In the sentence 'Il semblerait que, de nos jours, personne ne soit capable de se passer de son portable, et ce, même pendant la nuit' why is 'ce' used rather than 'ça' ?
It is somewhat reassuring to find so many others have found this confusing! Hope it is reviewed soon. Needs clarification and simplification, and use of standard symbols to replace unspecified letters. I always do the lesson first and then check the comments - this is one of those that makes me think I should read the comments first. When can a review be expected?
Is the Passe Simplé more like Passé Composé in meaning, or more like Imparfait? Or is this comparison just not a useful way to think about it?
I am struggling to understand when to use c’est rather than il/elle est despite having read through the suggested lesson. Can someone please help?
I am confused by how these words are used. In the Reader above the second paragraph begins: Pour commencer, j'espère de tout cœre qu'il fera beau.....Why is ce qu'ilnot used?
