Why is it ' on se serait crus' and not ' on se serait cru'. I thought 'on ' was singular.
Why is mets pronounced May instead of Meh? in the lesson A1 le jour de Noël?
I would like to know why the last phrase is in the present "c'est avec des larmes" when the rest of the text is in the past. I have seen the present used for obituaries, but on those occasions the present is used throughout the text, not just on one occasion. Est-ce qu'il y a quelqu'un qui peut m'expliquer?
