French language Q&A Forum

Why is the answer "We will make a cake in a bit" and not "We are going to make a cake in a bit"? I can't see a meaningful difference between the 2 options in English.

Thanks in advance!

It seems to be that "Emilie et toi" = "vous," you plural => 2nd person plural verb.

But the right answer was a third person plural verb.

Not entirely sure what this rule entails / under what circumstances it operates. 

Thanks in advance! 

Bonjour Madame Cécile !

A rule from the lesson states-

Position of Double Pronouns in French - in affirmative commands in the imperative mood (L'Impératif)

1.Adverbial pronouns en/y are placed after moi/toi/lui/nous/vous/leur  and moi/toi become m' and t’

Can it be elaborated by using the following- en/ y are placed after moi/toi/lui/l’/nous/vous/leur/les.

Accompagne-l’y ! -> Accompany him there ! (Here, l’ is a direct object which is better as compared to lui)

Conduis-les-y ! -> Drive them there ! (Here too, les is a direct object used instead of leur)

I would like to know whether direct object too satisfy this rule or only indirect object pronouns(as mentioned in the rule) could be used before en/y ?

2.Cover your head ! Couvrez-vous-la! OR Couvrez-la-vous!

The verb used is “se couvrir” but would ‘la’ precede ‘vous’ ? 

 “Vous” here is a Reflexive Pronoun but it behaves like an indirect object pronoun as the accepted answer was ‘Couvrez-la-vous !’

But a Kwiziq lesson states the following pattern that reflexive pronouns precede direct object pronouns- 

Reflexive + direct object (double pronouns)

Je serais vraiment reconnaissant de recevoir votre aide.

Merci encore !
