For "I won't write here all that I've done wrong", the answer uses the conditional "je n'écrirais pas ..." . Shouldn't we use the future tense in this sentence (i.e. "je n'écrirai pas ...") ? Thanks.
1. Why can't we use " avec beaucoup des glacons" but we have to use " avec beaucoup de glacons ", why " les " disappears in this case ?
Can pendre be used instead of accrocher?
Trying to figure out why in the first example the verb in the dependent clause (après que ...) is in the passé composé, but in the next two examples the verb following après que is in the present. All three examples seem similar in that the first action is completed before the action in the independent clause. Is the difference that the final two examples express habitual actions, as mentioned in the explanation? (Though the first example seems like it could express a habitual action as well). I guess in English we could say either, "After they've arrived, they go and say hello to my mother" or "After they arrive, they go and say hello to my mother," so maybe it's a matter of choice whether to use the passé composé or the present (après qu'ils sont arrivés or après qu'ils arrivent; après qu'elle a sonné la cloche or après qu'elle sonne la cloche)??
Je suits fan des or de films...?
Why is the letter "l" of the verb s'appeler doubled in all persons but the first and second plural?
In the sentence in the south of France the answer is le sud but in a previous exercise (Bastille Day) it was du sud. Are both acceptable ? Also in the best answer it is C'étaient but in the final paragraph it is C'était. Are both correct or is this an error?
I was wondering as I am understanding adjectives. I'm confused on extrêmement! There was a sentence in my book that saying un extrêmement vieux livre but it was marked wrong when I put extrêmement at the end of the noun live. Why is that wrong?
Thank you!!
