'As you can see, we only ever use the vous form.'
Does that mean you use the vous form even if speaking to a friend with whom you'd normally use 'tu', or does it mean you wouldn't use vouloir imperative at all with such a person (in which case, what would you say?)
Title. Trying to figure out if you must have the "ce" or if there are situations where it is not present.Â
One of he correct answers to "We're going to have to hurry then!" was - "- Nous allons devoir nous dĂ©pĂȘcher alors ! " Shouldn't that be nous se dĂ©pĂȘcher? Or nous nous dĂ©pĂȘcher? Se dĂ©pĂȘcher = to hurry, dĂ©pĂȘcher = to dispatch?
Je crois qu'il y a une erreur d'inscription ici: grammaticalement, et aussi per la narration accompagnante, le premier phrase de dictĂ©e doit ĂȘtre "avoir DE la chance".Â
Le mot "de" est manquĂ©?Â
From my understanding this is from the initial verb entendre meaning to hear.Â
From the different conjugations it will be I hear myself, I hear you etc but when you add "bien" at the end why does it become "I get along"? i.e., Je m'entends bien avec...?
Thankyou,

In the last sentence, "Et vous, comment s'est passé votre Noël cette année ?" If vous is the subject, shouldn't the verb be, vous etiez passé. How come it switches to 3rd person?
J'ai encore des cadeaux à acheter. - Marie les a déjà tous achetés
Why is the "achetĂ©s" plural in this case. As it is not conjugated with ĂȘtre in passĂ© composĂ© my understanding is that it would not agree?
Elle trouve que Sam EST belle.
versus
Elle trouve Sam ennuyeuse.
Does it work as a guide/rule that:
The presence of a conjugated verb after "trouve que" suggest both that
1) "trouve que" is being used in the sense of "think/find that...(clause)," and also
2) that "que" is necessary in the formation of such a sentence?
For comparison: "Elle trouve Sam est belle" would be grammatically incorrect.
